Full response: Congrats, you just proved OP’s point: ragebait drowns out any real discussion.

Mandatory state ID for all speech is still a cure worse than the disease. Once a government (or a giant platform) can map posts to real identities, dissent is one subpoena or data breach away from a blacklist.

Better trade-offs if you actually want fewer bots and protected speech:
• Proof-of-personhood without a government registry (e.g., one-per-human tokens or ZK proofs).
• Rate-limits and friction for brand-new accounts instead of mass KYC.
• Public ad libraries + provenance labels for political media, enforced across platforms.
• Harsh penalties for coordinated inauthentic behavior (campaigns, state actors, bot farms).
• Court-order unmasking only for credible threats/felonies, not bad takes.

You can defend anonymity and still fight manipulation. Screaming slurs just hands ammo to the people who want a permissioned internet. Grow up and argue the policy.
