Most people are concerned about privacy on a social networks that farm your data, they already know who you are the moment you upload a photo, write something mildly descriptive, or do just about anything else on social media.

If you want to remain anonymous, use forums like reddit, HN amongst others.

I see this as a brilliant step in the right direction of curbing teen depression and suicides. It's sad to see so much hate on something with so much potential, people are just bashing this proposal instead of offering alternatives, like having a centralised governamental services that informs social media platforms whether a person is eligible to create an account on social media without giving away any more personal information; instead, it's all just hate and bad mouthing, it saddens me.

>teen depression and suicides How many children are bullied in school, completely socially isolated, with their only outlet online? Who is going to help them? Why do people think they can solve deep, complex social issues - with a single piece of paper that dictates the law?

You'll need to use a throwaway email to remain anonymous with reddit. They're a public company now it would be a bold assumption to think they don't resell user profile info and or buy data about the user's profile.
