The proposal seems like it would do a lot more harm than good. Users who live in a dictatorship would have one of the biggest channels to tell their story stripped from them.

Fighting a dictatorship is different than fighting cyberbullies.

Fighting a dictatorship is just a matter of making the public lies so absurd that support is lost for their propaganda.

Cyberbullies only use believable common lies and rumor.

Umm... that statement has nothing to do with what I said.

Taking away anonymity from platforms always governments to target any individual that steps out of line.
