On: Meta forced to reveal anonymous Facebook user's id...

I'm having trouble seeing this being a major thing in a decade or two. To me it looks more like we're running towards more control in the name of stopping hate. ID verification to access internet and social media seem more likely. Sell it as a way to stop pedophiles on social media, kids from accessing violent/nude content, and people from posting hate. We don't have anything to hide, right?

Even if a platform wanted, the laws will prohibit it by requiring user knowledge.

i think 'in the name of stopping AI agents' is much more likely to be what sells this. perhaps hate spread by AI?

Left rampant AI agents can drown a platform with a deludge of advertising shit or hate or woke crap.

Privacy and anonymity are not the same thing.
