How do you hold people in power accountable if you get sued by them when you criticize them? That's the biggest reason why politicians want a full name / ID verification policy on the internet. It's so they can easily locate and sue their political enemies.
- fyredge 2mo agoBy fighting back in court. Better yet, by organising with others. I believe that it is in the interest of many to hold powerful people to account. Seek them out, share resources, organise a defense. It is not easy, and nothing good ever is. ID verification is pretty much a non-factor here. No one's listening to a politician who's real name is unknown. For all anyone knows, it could be a foreign actor / spy anyways.
