Some points:
Requiring an ID online in a country that requires no national ID? That's highly novel.
If there are no anonymous spaces how can people explore and discuss their mental health, sexuality, abuse and other issues they aren't keen on having permanently attached to their identity?
Anonymity doesn't cure or cause. People can be reactionary assholes with or without identity. Neither does it cause them to check every fact before resharing the cute meme - essentially no one does that.
The people behind Britain First (now banned by FB) didn't seem in the least bit bothered by being exposed as former BNP fascists spreading fake facts on FB. It did not cure them of their race hate, or stop the current US president retweeting them a few times.
Seems like it would work mostly as a method to retrospectively shame people, publicly.
