We're literally at the point where we have KYC laws just to post on the internet.

The slippery slope is long behind us, we're already at the bottom.

First they came for the people who worry about slippery slopes. I didn't speak out because I don't worry about slippery slopes. And that's that.

No. What is this revisionist nonsense? Where the hell did you think the meme of "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog" came from? Conventional wisdom was alias up, or maintain a well-known handle. Do not use or share personal info. Ever.
