Quote:What if the government decided we could no longer post under a user name but instead had to give our regular names and addresses? How does that differ from forcing disclosure of who is behind a political ad?

There is a long history of anonymous political statements dating back to the dawn of democracy. Here's an example: The Federalist Papers. Or how about Common Sense?

But where is anonymous speech protected in the constitution?
