There's a difference between having some platforms requiring personal information and having Internet access predicated on everyone knowing your identity. For example, I want my bank to know my email address, phone number, and physical address because I want to receive fraud notifications, to make telephone banking transactions, and to receive paper statements. I do not want forums that I shitpost on to have any of that information, nor do I want it to be written into law that any service I access over the Internet is required to ask for and log that information.
