Wouldn't something like this if it was ever implemented, actually have a chilling effect on a lot of online behavior?
Peoples' willingness to speak out against their government for instance. In a lot of countries political debate can lead to violence, now they know where you live.
What about something like online dating? Would women feel safe if every guy they chat with instantly knows their full identity?
Or just any topic that someone doesn't want broadcast to the entire world. A gay person growing up in a socially conservative society, a teenage girl asking questions on a forum about birth control, someone looking up a medical condition online, etc.
You could think of privacy and anonymity as a type of freedom and even civil right. Not sure it's worth putting that in jeopardy just to get rid of trolls and bots.
- Exactly! Like I said, this would greatly affect real ppl irlgrafician
- I'd suggest that data surveillance of the past decade has us already at this point now.monoboy
- Facebook and all social is a 100% accurate psychometric test.monoboy
- All I'm advocating is 'public' accountability for hate crimes and misinformation.monoboy
- Because people with extreme views online are either ignorant or doing it for attention.monoboy
- And it's tearing democracy apart.monoboy
- Sure there is data surveillance, but it happens quietly behind the scenes. What you're talking about would go far beyond that.yuekit
- Just consider the possibility there might be some unintended consequences.yuekit
- Totally. But we need to 'democratise' accountability too. At the moment, we have zero control over the data.monoboy
- That's what the rule law should afford us.monoboy
