176 AnoNet shines here. Governments can force Google to cough up your search history, but only if Google can figure out which searches you're responsible for. If you use Scroogle (HTTPS) through one of AnoNet's HTTP proxies, the proxy doesn't know what you're looking for, Scroogle has no clue who you are, and by the time the search makes its way to Google, connecting it to you is all but hopeless.

238 You may want to teach disciplines that can get you into friction with "the authorities" in a tyrannical regime. (Judges in prominent first-world countries have ruled, for example, that knowing your way around a computer is an indication that you may be involved in computer-related crimes.) AnoNet gives you an opportunity to teach without your students being able to point you out to the authorities, even under pain of torture.

242 You may find yourself in the middle of a news story, but other parts of that news story may not appreciate your reports. When you report something to WikiLeaks without going through tor, you're leaving a long trail that may lead to you. With AnoNet, you can hide that trail to a certain extent, if you don't want to use tor. (WikiLeaks over tor will still give you better protection than AnoNet, if you're worried about your government's intelligence agencies getting involved. AnoNet's optimization towards pseudonymity with common IcannNet protocols is the weakness, here. We're working on that, but in the meantime you have L<tor|http://www.torproject.org/>, L<i2p|http://www.i2p2.de/>, L<Freenet|http://freenetproject.org/>, L<GNUnet|http://gnunet.org/>, and others.)
