Anonymity (social choice)

Anonymity (social choice) means that your identity will not be shared with anyone when you make a choice. When you make a decision, nobody else will know who made that decision. This can be helpful in a lot of different situations. For example, if you are participating in an election, you may not want anyone to know which candidate you voted for. This way, you can be sure that your vote will not be influenced by someone else. Anonymity can also help protect you online, when you make purchases or fill out forms, since you won’t have to give out your personal information.
