I don’t think it should be legal to anonymously create a facebook, instagram,X,tiktok,reddit account. Without having accounts traceable back to an identify illegal behavior never stops and the person is never held accountable. Online crimes but are unenforceable as long as anonymity is permitted. There is little to no good that comes from anonymously creating an account compared to the massive amounts of harm. Implementing restrictions does not affect 99.99% of the population and only filters out the tiny minority of people who represent a disproportional amount of harm on the platform.

I still think anonymity should be permitted on tor, i2p and less popular sites.

      It has very much.

      If they fascist or communist or islamist or billionaire or whatever government you frightens most KNOWS you are a Dissident, you will be prosecuted.

      So how to prevent that? If possible just make anonymity the Standard.

          The problematic time is the transition from democracy to dictatorship.

          And if the Data wouldnt just be saved, it wouldnt exist and this couldnt be used against oneself.
