I think that at this point FB has proven that people will be nasty regardless of how not-anonymous they are.
As such I'm doubtful this will change anything about peoples behavior.
It's also quite scary how nonchalant many people here are arguing for this to stop "propaganda" which these days seems to be as easily defined as "Anything that doesn't conform with a Western/US-centric narrative".
Because I have yet to see one of these "propaganda ban waves" be reasoned with anything but "Russia/Iranian/Chinese propaganda" like that's the only kind of "propaganda" that exists [0].
As such I consider these "propaganda bans" just another exercise in propaganda [1].
