> This seems like a scheme for ensuring that no anonymous / pseudo-anonymous interactions can occur. In fairness, are anonymous interactions really some kind of fundamental right? If so, how did we make do without it until about 20 years ago for most people? There is no prior analogy really -- phone networks, postal mail, distributing books, meeting in person -- until just recently all information exchange had to be done in a way where you could see and touch the person bringing it to you in some way. It's even possible we might have fucked up when we got excited about how cool anonymity would be as a thing to add to society.
