Maybe there could be legislation made that if an anonymous person is directly threatening your safety/livelihood then they can be prosecuted?

That would take care of death threats, the posting of personal addresses, and the like.

With telephone calls, if you can be tracked you will be prosecuted for threatening people but from what I understand the law differentiates between prank calls (which are still punishable) and actual threats.

Why can't that be used as a basis for internet harrassment?
