They eliminated anonymity in large chunks of South Korea’s social media. People didn’t behave better.

(With that said, there are certain behaviours e.g. support for fascism that seem to be associated with having large numbers of anon accounts.)

I also see some pretty terrible behavior in Facebook comments on news sites/blogs right next to people's names, employer and a photo of them with their kid.

Yea, this is pretty useless information unless you can provide a source for these claims. I find it very hard to believe that the complete elimination of anonymity on a social media platform resulted in exactly 0 improvement in measurable behavior.

I Googled both your anonymity and your fascism claims and couldn't find anything, but I'd love to learn more.
