Oh boy here we go. Anybody who's ever followed a Drudge link to a news site that uses Facebook comments knows that isn't true.
The Internet is inherently toxic. Right now we're all like Marie Curie fascinated by this glowing thing we found but eventually we'll figure out that although you can do amazing things with it prolonged exposure will kill you.
- makomk 11y agoSome people have enough influence that they can often pressure employers into sacking people who say offensive things. For them, real names are a huge benefit because they know who to try and get sacked. It's not so much of a win for anyone who doesn't have that kind of power, but fortunately no-one listens to their views anyway. Basically, there's a kind of structural problem where the "solutions" that get the most press are the ones that benefit the powerful, because they're the people driving the discussion.
