It would be good if we had a clear, non-technical statement showing how
the IETF is working on technologies which, in the long run, can help
with tracing and apprehending the bad guys while preserving privacy.
As far as I can tell, the threats to individuals that result from
traceable network transactions are at least as great as the threats that
result from anonymity. We need to be thinking in terms of balancing the
risk from those two kinds of threats. This is hard because the
relationship between the two kinds of threat varies from one place to
another and from one time to another.
So while we can make a non-technical statement that protecting kids and
privacy are both good things, as engineers we should realize that things
aren't nearly so simple.
