As I said, anonymity should always be an option.
But it should also be an option to engage in platforms where anonymous spammers, trolls, and criminals are not feasible, where reputation matters and some level of social integrity can be restored. And ideally without a secretive corporation exploiting your attention and data for their profits.
I promise you that this latter group (youths, "normies") is vastly larger than the group of people who actually need anonymity.

Many people have opinions that will lead them to being attacked and cancelled, etc. There are groups of people ready to isolate and pounce on whoever they can so as to compel others to shut-up. I get what you're saying but I don't agree that government has a place in regulating speech. People are free to join or leave platforms as they see fit.
