I'm absolutely being real, and I know how to do it. It's not even hard in concept. Of course because data export/import mechanisms are so baroque and error-prone it will take effort to implement but that's already true

This is a hopelessly naive view of the outcome of truly anonymous, untraceable, unaccountable communication. We should all realize that there are much worse outcomes than the current society we live in, and lots of them increase dramaticall
