We live in the 21st century and anyone who has an opinion should be open to it. These and other statements in this direction are unfortunately heard again and again - and with them the demand for a clear name obligation on the Internet.
No desire to hate
The most common argument is hatred, which arises from anonymity. You can insult others, threaten them and much more without falling back on yourself. In addition, there are social bots, etc., which allegedly influence opinion. On the subject of social bots, I can recommend the Twitter account of Professor Florian Gallwitz, which role they actually play in social networks. Well there is a limited possibility to buy Likes or Follower but what is the point?
And even with hate it doesn't help, the platform on which I have experienced the most hate so far was Facebook and there most of them act under their clear name, it is e.g. also in South Korea where there is already a clear name obligation not better when it comes to hate comments. Not much helps against that, there are just idiots everywhere.
Privileged demand
From whom does the demand for a clear name obligation come? Mostly from politics and companies that earn money with advertising, well then there is a certain person who was also involved in this blockchain and has no desire for bots, yes they can also be annoying here but you can easily recognize them.
But what do all these people not consider? They don't consider that it can be dangerous to work with your clear names, be it as a leftist among right-wing extremists or as a right-wing among left-wing extremists, as a journalist in the environment of organized crime or simply as someone who has a strange rash on his testicles. In all these cases, acting under clear names can lead to problems - and that's what anonymity is for, to protect oneself.
Let us preserve anonymity
Let's keep the great possibility to remain anonymous, only this way it can be guaranteed that everyone is the same, it doesn't matter where you come from at the first moment, who you actually are. It allows the others to judge only by their actions and not by their history.
