Misinformation is a great threat to democracy. I live in country with independent courts, free press and freedom of speech. Everyone can criticize the government all they want without repercussions. The threats posed by huge bot farms working to promote fascist far outweigh the fantasy benefits of using anonymous communities to organize some resistance to nonexistent tyrants. Where I live the anonymity online is used exclusively to bully, threaten and defame people. It can be different in different countries but where I live I don't see any benefits of being able to post things online anonymously.

> . I live in country with independent courts, free press and freedom of speech Which magical country is that? Like, I get some eurohaugtiness vibes from your comment, so as a fellow eurofucker I can tell you, with quite some confidence, that you're wrong. You're probably just too privileged for this to matter to you, personally.

Yawn. You sound like the lobbyists. They want ID to control us, to selectively spread more misinformation. Nobody will be able to criticize the government, you will be targeted. The bots promoting fascism are the same ones spreading bullshit like this to push for the fascist non-anonymous internet. It sounds like you shouldnt be using the internet at all.

This won’t stop misinformation. This will only allow it to run more rampant.
