      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.

        Malicious misinformation and propaganda is constantly spread without any sort of anonymity, so I can’t see how this is relevant.

          Chemotherapy does not cure all forms of cancer, therefore chemotherapy is not relevant to cancer treatment.

            Home searches would catch some criminals, therefore a blanket search warrant is relevant to stopping crime.

              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.

            No but you don’t give everyone chemotherapy just because some people have cancer

        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.
