But this would have a horrifying, chilling effect on marginalized communities. Anonymity allows for one to publish marginalized interest works and trans-oriented contents.
This is especially important for less-than-safe jurisdictions, for which even bog-standard sex workers may well find themselves in the crosshairs of a fascist government, or even grass-roots persecution from far-right sources using hacked data! It is, after all, only a matter of time for most any web site in this day and age for a user-data compromise.
These kinds of policies lead to harassment, violence, and imprisonment for many.
- AlecSchueler 5y agoAgreed but the lack of these kinds of policies also lead to harassment and violence for many, so it's clear a discussion needs to be had.
- strangeattractr 5y agoI would choose reducing real harm caused by the actual distribution of abuse material (anyone can be abused in this way even in marginalised communities) if the only cost was potentially chilling the distribution of trans-oriented adult content. Seems like a small price to pay to reduce the effects of one of the worst things the internet has enabled.
