Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anonymity can create a sense of deindividuation, where individuals feel less accountable for their actions and are more likely to engage in behaviors that they wouldn't normally engage in if they were identifiable. This can lead to more offensive or aggressive behavior online than in signed letters.
