Anonymous network will be popular

There is a sad but true story that corporate-PR "corrected" wikipedia pages in order to downplay the mistakes done by company and government organizations. Some of the "corrections" may be a true account of history but there are deliberate censorship. Most people think the network address (IP address) are useless and could not reveal the location or identity of individuals. However, most IP address is similar to telephone number and could be traced to specific organizations. This traceability enabled Wikiscanner (mentioned in the article) to find the editor of wiki. There are some anonymous networks like Tor for people to conceal their identity. I believe the PR will continue their censorship on wikipedia with these anonymous networks. It is sad that when truth is the battlefield between individual and large organisations.
