Anonymity IS privacy. Specifically, anonymity is privacy of identity. So no, it’s not two different concepts. It’s a subset/superset relationship of the same thing.
Calling “privacy” and “anonymity” two different concepts is an attempt to downplay the importance of anonymity. The problem is that you never have absolute privacy, and when privacy is attacked or lost for one reason or another you better have anonymity. You should think of anonymity as a 2nd layer of protection from disclosure.
People really have to learn to differenciate between PRIVACY and ANONIMITY. Two different concepts.
