A proposal in Australia would not only ban anonymous social media accounts, but require one hundred different means of identification!
Australia are going full on CCP.
Australians will need to submit 100 points of identification to use social media. 👇🏼 pic.twitter.com/gCrYbYXXDJ

This particular proposal probably won’t pass… this time, but calls to ban anonymity and require that a person be identified with any and all social media accounts is an attack on anonymous speech which is necessary to protect in a free society, especially when those who know that information don’t have to reveal what they do

The “100 points of identification” doesn’t mean they have to provide 100 different documents, it refers to a system they use with ID cards. Drivers lisences count for 70 points, credit cards count for 20 points, Birth Certificates count for 25 points, etc. The system is set up to where you’ll have to provide at least 3 different dicuments to reach 100 points.
From Locke and Milton through the 18th Century Enlightenment to J.S. Mill et al. this “comprehensive privacy” theme has been deemed essential to everything from personal finances and tax records to secret ballots.
To manic hegemons, exercising power of life-and-death denies Memento Mori, the fact that “all things end”: Cemetery gateways read, “As you are now, so once were we; as we are now, so shall you be.” But “knowledge as power” knows no bounds– Shiva’s dance-of-hours creates but to destroy.
So Big Tech’s obsession with all-powerful surveillance reflects abiding anomie, a nihilistic emptiness assuaged by mounting Genghis’ heaps of skulls. Few things happen overnight… but Cap’n Hook will flee the Crocodile of Time by flinging hecatombs of sacrifices to Death’s squamous maw.
Be warned: It’s either Bezos, Twitface Jack, the Zuck, or you and your posterity. Can’t happen here?– Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao T’se-tung would like a word with you.
