That would be pseudonymity, and of a weak kind, not anonymity at all.

<		 Today net is the place where anonymity is dead. In contrast, people work on finding ways to hide their profiles, preferences, likes an dislikes while browsing in the internet. Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter paved the way for this "de-anonymization" and it seems like there is no turning back.

>		 Today net is the place where anonymity is dead. People who are technically advanced or who care about their privacy and search for ways to maintain it, may still find ways to hide their profiles, preferences, likes an dislikes while browsing in the internet, but the rest is indifferent to the haunting surveillance of the net. Tremendous amounts of data piles up every second and unless we are cautious of our each move and our peers' actions about us in the net, it seems like there is no turning back from opting out.
 
I don't think this is accurate. Which "people" "work on finding ways"? The ways are simple enough, and well known to technically-skilled people who care about their online privacy. So about whom are we speaking and what "work" do they do?
