Speaking at the South By Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, Poole said: “Anonymity is authenticity. It allows you to share in a completely unvarnished, raw way.” He said that Zuckerberg was “totally wrong” to equate online anonymity with cowardice.
In a 2009 interview with David Kirkpatrick, for his book, The Facebook Effect, Zuckerberg said: "Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity."



Poole said that online anonymity gave people, particularly young people, the room to make mistakes. He said: “To fail in an environment where you’re being identified by your real name is costly.”
He also argued that the true identity of users was not so important to 4chan because “we value content over creator”.
