What's the difference between being prevented from lying and beyond prevented from lying about your identity? If you're going to advocate for absolute free speech, you should be ready to commit.
And frankly, if this was a concern, maybe eliminating the way to tell whose account is who they say they are was a terrible business move.
- oska 4y agoThe difference is very clear. One is saying whatever you want to say under your own public identity or under a pseudonym. The other is pretending that someone else is saying something. It's not 'lying about your identity', that's a miscasting. It's pretending someone else is saying things that they are not. Free speech does not include fraudulently pretending that other people are saying things that they have not / would not say. Claiming that Free Speech must include this is intellectually dishonest and intellectually uninteresting as an argument.
