I suppose it depends on how much you want ~all of your online activity to be attributed to your real identity, in such a way that could be easily examined by the government.

Authenticity and anonymous speech are not mutually exclusive. Stop pretending they are.

You are the only one who mentioned speech, "online activity" is what was referred to. You specifically suggested linking profiles to government identification. "Linking" wouldn't seem to leave much room for anonymity regardless of activity.

What's online activity if not speech?

If DoorDash has a fake profile for D111af5ccf's Divine Donuts, is that not a crime? Impersonation, fraud, theft of IP, etc.

Again, how does authenticity conflict with free speech?

Examples, please.
