I sometimes suggest that the internet should start from strongly verifiable identity. You can strip identity in cases where it makes sense, but trying to establish identity is very hard. When people can be identified it make it possible to track them down and hold them accountable if they violate laws. People will generally behave better when they are not anonymous.
- yunwal 2y ago“We should dox everyone on the internet” is definitely not a take I expected.
- Nasrudith 2y agoThat take has been around since Facebook's real name policy as what seemed like a good idea at the time. It failed to make people behavior any better. Yet absolute idiots keep on thinking that if we just make the internet less free it will solve all of our problems and deliver us into a land of rainbows, unicorns, and gumdrops where it rains chocolate. For god's sake stop doing the work for a dystopia for free!
