Social media users will need to verify their identities under new decree 147, prompting fears it will undermine expression and expose anonymous dissidents
Anonymity should only be available to those smart enough to be so. Already too many people share what comes to their mind without consequence and forethought causing a mass increase in far right sentiment and violence. Hate crimes are at an all time high. This is a good law, in fact, every country should have it.
It’s a bad law and no country should have it. I’m against age verification as well, since it’s a step toward forced identification. My area passed age verification, which means I need to set up my network with a VPN so my family is safe from corporations (and thus government) from having even more information about us.
Anonymity is critical for a free society. And yeah, freedom has its own costs, such as hate crime, which I’m well aware of since my SO and therefore kids are minorities. But freedom to publicly criticize your government would be significantly curtailed without anonymity.
Sorry about your luck, but it just so happens your local government doesn’t agree with this opinion. You’re now going to be jailed and beaten until you’re formed, at which point you will be killed. Big brother is watching you
