Sounds like ones demands have changed, or atleast they got a hold of themselves. whatever lead to them walking back on this, it's the end of another battle for internet privacy, but not the end of the war. As apps continue to track you in new mysterious ways behind their closed sourced software, and the governments continue to crack down on encryption. Anonymous names are important for privacy too.

Has this person ever seen what a news comments section with a "real names required" rule looks like? They're just as much cesspools as anywhere else. People don't care whether their names are attached to their on-line comments.

anonymity will deffo make it more desirable to for the ones who are on the edge tho
