The root of the problem is that the Internet does not intrinsically have a concept of genuine identity.
Yes, first amendment rights are preserved in the "real" Internet through anonymous posting. And information gets shared that otherwise would not if identity were revealed.
But that begets spam, fishing, scams, and a number of bad actors that drive people towards walled gardens for communications.
