The need for Internet anonymity has been hotly debated since the World Wide Web took form in the early 1990s. Today, social media and more widespread usage of technology have contributed to greater transparency around online identities.

The adage "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog" came from a New Yorker cartoon caption in 1993. Now this stop-motion video, inspired by that cartoon, serves as a humorous PSA for Internet anonymity.
