You are missing the point, completely. The only thing this facilitates is:
a) Companies generating blanket lawsuits
b) The government tracking who says what where
Hiding your identity has never been a problem for resourceful criminals. You either setup an company with a new name or get a proxy ('testa ferro' is the term I prefer) to do it for you.
Now, how many whistleblowers you'd think would be able to go through that just to make us (the general public) a favor? How many political dissidents would?
In other words, yours is equivalent to the argument most people brandish when talking about gun laws: "if guns were banned, then gun violence would go down!". No, it wouldn't. Those outside the law would get them in the black market, and those of us that abide to the rule of law would lose a valuable weapon (no pun intended).

How does it follow that violence would not go down? Clearly if only 'business criminals' have access to guns, as opposed to everyone, there are in total less gun holders, and thus less gun violence...
This is starting to go offtopic but, I'd like to see data that shows that gun related death excluding accident are more linked to business criminals or gangs.
My current belief is most gun death are due to smaller things like family issues, neighboors getting in fights etc.
