EFF to Comic-Con: protect our secret identities!

I’m quibbling specifically with the wording of EFF’s complaint. I think their appeal to expectation of anonymity is just a bit overstated and weakens their argument rather than strengthening it, and I’m disappointed thereby since the basic point about the potential for abuse is a reasonable one.

I think some copy-writer got a bit too attached to the cute “secret identity” analogy. It’s a great headline and capsule summary, but doesn’t work as well if taken too literally.
