Me neither, probably. But it’s still a good idea in principle. The spread of malicious misinformation and propaganda has already led to millions of deaths. If we have to give up some anonymous shitposting to curb these excesses, it’s worth it.
That’s a little too close to reality for comfort. 😟
We have several governments saying that being able to read some people’s encrypted messages would catch some criminals, therefore we need to be able to read everyone’s encrypted messages.
Literally 2 days ago I was arguing with family about privacy online and I was the only person in car that gave a fuck about it. The 3 other family members were totally ok with being spied on online from start to finish and have this information used against because they had “nothing to hide” and that caring about it would not change anything in their personal lives anyway and that we don’t live in a country that actively cracks down on people against certain things. No example or angle I brought up would change their mind. This was the moment I gave up on those family members in my head. Ugh…
Malicious misinformation gets spread by plenty of elected officials and journalists every day. You don’t have to be anonymous to do that. Hell pretty much the entire US government does it.
I wouldn’t be here if it asked for my id.

No.
Malicious misinformation and propaganda is constantly spread without any sort of anonymity, so I can’t see how this is relevant.
Exactly, nation states and political parties are the worst in this regard.
Chemotherapy does not cure all forms of cancer, therefore chemotherapy is not relevant to cancer treatment.
No but you don’t give everyone chemotherapy just because some people have cancer
Thank you. I agree with this.
Home searches would catch some criminals, therefore a blanket search warrant is relevant to stopping crime.
