Good motivation to build or support platforms where this can't even be a possibility, i.e. without phone number authentication or other identity revealing steps as part of authentication.

I'm having trouble seeing this being a major thing in a decade or two. To me it looks more like we're running towards more control in the name of stopping hate. ID verification to access internet and social media seem more likely. Sell it as a way to stop pedophiles on social media, kids from accessing violent/nude content, and people from posting hate. We don't have anything to hide, right?

Even if a platform wanted, the laws will prohibit it by requiring user knowledge.

i think 'in the name of stopping AI agents' is much more likely to be what sells this. perhaps hate spread by AI?

Left rampant AI agents can drown a platform with a deludge of advertising shit or hate or woke crap.

Privacy and anonymity are not the same thing.

You would need a warrant to extract the messages/identity directly from a person's computer as there is nothing otherwise to obtain.

Well there's plenty of platforms like that, but they're often used by people with shady intents. Anonymity has a tradeoff like that.
