Biden’s DHS Is Accused Of Being Weaponized Against Online Speech

[loam]

I guess I am missing your point.

There is no true anonymity on the internet.

No worries. I'll try again. I actually think we probably agree 99%.

The thread is about the Biden administration targeting conservatives by paying private organizations to go after them. You later seemed to say (and I'll admit upon a re-read it doesn't quite say what I interpreted it as saying earlier) that anonymity is bad for the internet because it enables people to behave in ways they wouldn't in real life. I saw that as advocating for less anonymity, which I oppose.

Yes, I understand there is no true anonymity on the internet. But to some degree there is anonymity from other users of the net.

Does the government know who I am? Absolutely. Does my local school board or business or employer or church? Not so much.

And yes I understand we are all vulnerable to bad actors, but that wasn't the point I was making.

In any event, it's a narrow point.

The house is on fire, and we are discussing the placement of the coach.
