At the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when people were starting to get concerned about this strange new disease in China, the WHO announced there was "no evidence of human-to-human transmission" and no need to restrict i

So? Do you believe all the other places you get information from are unbiased? They aren't, every human being is biased, we're wholly incapable of being truly objective. The best you can hope for are sources who are open and hones

Other Libyans who happened to be backed by NATO. Qaddafi was no saint, quite the opposite, but that shouldn't give Western countries a free pass to go directly interfere in Libyan politics. It has very little to do with helping Libyans

Seems a bit paranoid for one thing. Also, it's unfair and cruel to put the responsibility for preventing abuse onto the abused. The person engaging in dysfunctional behavior is the problem, not their victims. Sure, you can avoid being

I'm not convinced the "solution" to abuse is to remain completely anonymous online.

I don't think you've really experienced online abuse. If you get in an argument with someone and they start saying nasty things, then it's simple to disengage. You just stop replying and you don't go back to the thread.

If I understand this correctly, the issue isn't Google Analytics specifically, but "because it transfers users’ data to the USA, which is a country without an adequate level of data protection". So this could also apply to an
