Graham Cluley, a security expert for Sophos, argued that Anonymous' actions against child porn websites hosted on a darknet could be counterproductive, commenting that while their intentions may be good, the removal of illegal websites and sharing networks should be performed by the authorities, rather than Internet vigilantes.[55]Some commentators also argued that the DDoS attacks by Anonymous following the January 2012 Stop Online Piracy Act protests had proved counterproductive. Molly Wood of CNET wrote that "[i]f the SOPA/PIPA protests were the Web's moment of inspiring, non-violent, hand-holding civil disobedience, #OpMegaUpload feels like the unsettling wave of car-burning hooligans that sweep in and incite the riot portion of the play."[56] Dwight Silverman of the Houston Chronicle concurred, stating that "Anonymous' actions hurt the movement to kill SOPA/PIPA by highlighting online lawlessness."[57] The Oxford Internet Institute's Joss Wright wrote that "In one sense the actions of Anonymous are themselves, anonymously and unaccountably, censoring websites in response to positions with which they disagree."[58]
With more than 10 thousand followers on their IRC server waiting for instructions, they felt they had to come up with something, and got the idea of a worldwide protest. Because they both wanted to use a symbol or image to unify the protests, and because all protesters were supposed to be anonymous, it was decided to use a mask. Due to shipment problems caused by the short amount of time to prepare, they improvised and called all the costume and comic book-shops in the major cities around the world, and found that the only mask available in all the cities was the Guy Fawkes mask from the graphic novel and film V for Vendetta, in which an anarchist revolutionary battles a totalitarian government. The suggestion of the choice of mask was well received. On February 10, thousands of Anonymous joined simultaneous protests at Church of Scientology facilities in 142 cities in 43 countries.[90][91][92] The stylized Guy Fawkes masks soon became a popular symbol for Anonymous.[93] In-person protests against the Church continued throughout the year, including "Operation Party Hard" on March 15 and "Operation Reconnect" on April 12.[94][95][96] However, by mid-year, they were drawing far fewer protesters, and many of the organizers in IRC channels had begun to drift away from the project.[97]
To submit an anonymous crime tip through the website, click Submit a Crime Tip and fill out the form. Please explain the activity in as much detail as possible. You do not have to provide your name, address or telephone number. All information is kept strictly confidential. This form is submitted to the Framingham Police Detective Bureau.
Anonymous' origin story begins in the online message forums of 4chan, the anonymous social community website founded in 2003. Even today, posts on 4chan from users who don't specify a username are labeled as written by "Anonymous."
This Anonymous Comment Tool allows members of the public to provide anonymous suggestions or complaints about an environmental concern or an incident of discrimination involving an environmental concern.
If you prefer not to report a complaint or concern directly to our regional office staff, you may submit your comment or complaint via this form without providing contact information. This information will be shared with the appropriate DEQ staff to investigate or address in a timely fashion. Please note that using this tool anonymously may not provide DEQ with enough information to investigate your specific complaint, issue, or suggestion which may delay or prevent a potential resolution to your situation.
If you are filing a complaint about a particular location, we will need at least one of the following: 1) The location/address of the place AND/OR 2) a point of contact to follow up with. This information will be anonymous if you check the anonymous box below.
Struct anonymous records also allow for "structness inference" where you do not need to specify the struct keyword at the call site. In this example, you elide the struct keyword when calling printCircleStats:
It's useful to declare discriminated unions whose cases are records. But if the data in the records is the same type as the discriminated union, you must define all types as mutually recursive. Using anonymous records avoids this restriction. What follows is an example type and function that pattern matches over it:
However, unlike named records, anonymous records allow you to construct entirely different forms with copy and update expressions. The follow example takes the same anonymous record from the previous example and expands it into a new anonymous record:
Like record types, anonymous records are structurally equatable and comparable. This is only true if all constituent types support equality and comparison, like with record types. To support equality or comparison, two anonymous records must have the same "shape".
It is possible to use a .NET API that requires the use of C# anonymous types. C# anonymous types are trivial to interoperate with by using anonymous records. The following example shows how to use anonymous records to call a LINQ overload that requires an anonymous type:
We are happy to take any information that you are willing to provide, but please understand that the more specific the information provided, the better chances we will be able to act on it. For example, anonymous reports hold less weight for obtaining search warrants than do reports from citizens whose identities we are able to protect but who are deemed to be reliable.
Anonymous reports to Illinois State University can be made to a voicemail maintained and checked regularly by OEOA. These voicemails will be kept on record with Illinois State University indefinitely, and any necessary follow-up will be made. However, given the anonymous nature of these reports, Illinois State University may be limited in its ability to respond to an allegation, including initiating an investigation or taking protective measures.
In addition to the voicemail service described above, the University has also partnered with NAVEX EthicsPoint,a third-party reporting service, to provide an option for individuals to share concerns 24 hours a day, seven days a week, either online or via a toll-free telephone number. While we prefer that you use existing campus reporting methods, this reporting service is another way you can voice concerns, especially when you wish to remain anonymous. As with the voicemail service above, given the anonymous nature of these reports, in certain instances the University may be limited in its ability to respond to an allegation, including initiating an investigation or taking protective measures.
When you make an anonymous report via the EthicsPoint website or the toll-free telephone number, you will receive a unique reference number that you may use to report back and answer any follow-up questions. To make an anonymous report, please complete the electronic form on the Ethics Point Website or call 833-254-2202.
Objectives: Medical errors cause significant morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Specialty-based, voluntary reporting of medical errors by health care providers is an important strategy that may enhance patient safety. We developed a voluntary, anonymous, Internet-based reporting system for medical errors in neonatal intensive care, evaluated its feasibility, and identified errors that affect high-risk neonates and their families.
Methods: Health professionals (n = 739) from 54 hospitals in the Vermont Oxford Network received access to a secure Internet site for anonymous reporting of errors, near-miss errors, and adverse events. Reports used free-text entry in phase 1 (17 months) and a structured form in phase 2 (10 months). The number and types of reported events and factors that contributed to the events were measured.
Conclusions: Specialty-based, voluntary, anonymous Internet reporting by health care professionals identified a broad range of medical errors in neonatal intensive care and promoted multidisciplinary collaborative learning. Similar specialty-based systems have the potential to enhance patient safety in a variety of clinical settings.
The REPORTLINE is available 24/7 and serves as an anonymous resource for employees to report or seek guidance on possible compliance issues.

Beginning January 1, 2022, the IRS no longer permits VCP submissions to be made anonymously. If an authorized representative wishes to discuss a potential VCP submission with the IRS an anonymous written request for a pre-submission conference can be made. See Revenue Procedure 2021-30 (PDF)PDF, Section 10.10.
