>Anonymity just isn't done anymore.
Passive voice alert! By whom? Site/app producers can, with certain exceptions, choose to allow anonymity.
I believe their point is that site/app producers are increasingly pressure not to allow anonymity by investors.
Site/app producers with investors, and really, investors of a certain breed. Investors that "encourage" certain business models that depend on prohibiting anonymity.
investors, banks, regulators, other companies that are regulated....
> Even banks are increasingly getting regulator-ish. You may need to produce a "know-your-customer" policy.
That's an understatement, if I ever saw one.
> Anonymity just isn't done anymore.

It might just be a matter of boilerplate. The permissions and usernames are (in code, in legalese, etc) may be tied to the concept of a signup.

Even banks are increasingly getting regulator-ish. You may need to produce a "know-your-customer" policy.
Anonymity just isn't done anymore.
