prohibition of anonymity means that everyone is mandated to dox themselves....That's a bad time for everyone if they're forced to have their real name and real location attached to literally everything they do online.
It has had shockingly few consequences so far
Yes actually...When people are anonymous online and they have an argument, it can't go anywhere besides the online space.
If everyone is forced to dox themselves, then the violent people in online arguments know where the other person lives.
I was not making that argument that everyone should be forced to dox themselves and that online anonymity should be abolished
I was just pointing something out
Why?
Edit, location, I get that. That could be unsafe under certain circumstances, and it's sometimes hard to protect your location privacy.
That's unsafe in ALL circumstances. The only one who should get to decide who reveals your real location should be you and you should have full control over who you reveal it to.
Don't vote for Nikki Haley, she wants to dox the entire world to "prevent Russians bots"
