I feel gratified when I see people who have been crushed by their governments are able to finally express themselves on a platform like Socialnumber.com. Being anonymous helps in really sharing your thoughts and feelings without the government throwing you in prison. Freedom of speech that we take for granted in the United States is a foreign concept in a lot of countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. People can't publicy say anything that is against the government even if they completely disagree.
Since Socialnumber.com allows completely anonymity and you are just a number, users are able to truly say how they feel. Where else could the Syrian rebels or anyone for that matter could say something like this on a group (including Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter or any other social media site) without worrying about repurcussions.
"This guy can't be serious. What a jerk! He needs to take his family and leave the country before he has Saddam's fate...." - they are talking about Assad of course.
Freedom of speech can be so liberating..
