Tim Pool, who I will discuss later and has been called "the eyes of the movement", states "transparency our principle of solidarity. " But there is clearly another position within the movement, one that rejects pure transparency and holds onto the value of anonymity. I want to distinguish these two positions within the Occupy movement: (1) those who most value transparency and (2) those who most value anonymity. It is easy to make the case that Occupy is centrally about transparency. The value of livestreams from protests has even drawn the attention of The New York Times business section.
