Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - Dylan Thomas
There is a global concerted effort ongoing right now to erase anonymity online because the free internet puts power mongers at risk. Without anonymity, governments can find dissenters and problems early and nip them in the bud. Doxxing will become an even bigger problem than it already is. It will make arrests and firings a walk in the park. Anonymity allows whistleblowers to speak, allows dissidents to organize, and creates a true marketplace of ideas. During the COVID era discussions in academia were shut down and moved online where professionals could discuss trends and data without risk of persecution or firing. In some cases in Europe and Australia, professionals faced legal ramifications for speaking up. The rise of the dissident right in 2016 and its continuance has it's roots in online discussion. After years of manipulated Overton window shifts, the dissident right appeared to counter these shifts as well as a counter to the established right. These discussions were and sometimes still are dangerous to careers and entire livelihoods. Anonymity allows these discussions to be had. Governments do not operate morally and will pretend this is all done to "protect the children" but in reality it's a power grab to stop dissent in the future. There is AMPLE evidence of the US government and other governments doing this in the past.
