Of course for now, places like wikileaks still need to exist. I'm just not bought in to the idea that people really find truths on twitter or how lack of privacy on twitter could make that shit sandwich worse. I imagine it primarily removes the bots and glowies. Or at least makes it a little harder for em.
And because it doesn't make sense to you, other people shouldn't have anonymity? Come on bro. If Twitter wasn't such a threat, the establishment wouldn't be hellbent on censorship.
I dont see censorship increasing nor decreasing based on anonymity. If anything, I'd imagine censorship is easier if the mod is anonymous and if they can group-ban real users with anon bots. That said, I'm not really against anonymity. If this website required ID, i probably wouldnt use it. Just if owners of a private company want members not to be anonymous, I'm also not against that. I could be swayed but so far, i dont see it.
You don't have to see it, that's not an actual argument. We both know that people are targeted by corrupt governments and other entities when they are seen as a threat. I don't know why you're pretending that anonymity doesn't protect people from harm. I'm trying to have a good faith conservation here. History is full of examples of how anonymity is essential to defending liberty. If Twitter eliminates anonymity many people will stop using it. And it extends the trend of anti privacy policies that big tech has been pushing.
Because i was not arguing as much as trying to learn. From a global point of view, in the current state of affairs, i'll concede to your point this is a net negative. I honestly forgot about twitters anti-tyranny uses in other countries.
From a US pov, i see this as a net positive for twitter to fail. I dont think the company can turn around from its censoring ways.
