Mandated identification is an even more terrifying idea. I already stop signing up for a site when the ask for a phone number. Last thing I want is to make easier for companies to track me.

Not only that I think anonymity is important. Without you could also just as easily be threatened or harassed by people online. It cut both ways.

If someone threatens or harasses you online, and they are not anonymous you can take action. Like you say, both ways.

You can always have sites that drop your identity. It's technically easier to drop information than to verify it.
