"Bien que l'anonymat puisse être utilisé pour protéger les héros, il est bien plus souvent utilisé comme un moyen d'échapper à la responsabilité."

Simplified Meaning:

People can sometimes hide their identity to do good things without needing praise or recognition, like when someone anonymously donates money to charity to help others without wanting to take credit. However, more often, people use anonymity to avoid taking responsibility for negative actions. For example, someone might post hurtful comments online without using their real name, so they don't have to face the consequences. Being anonymous can be used in good ways, but it is frequently misused by people who don't want to be held accountable for their bad behavior. To apply this idea, one should strive to be responsible for their actions, even when no one knows who they are. This means thinking carefully about what you say and do, and being willing to stand by your actions openly.
