I don’t think it should be legal to anonymously create a facebook, instagram,X,tiktok,reddit account. Without having accounts traceable back to an identify illegal behavior never stops and the person is never held accountable. Online crimes but are unenforceable as long as anonymity is permitted. There is little to no good that comes from anonymously creating an account compared to the massive amounts of harm. Implementing restrictions does not affect 99.99% of the population and only filters out the tiny minority of people who represent a disproportional amount of harm on the platform.

I still think anonymity should be permitted on tor, i2p and less popular sites.

      People rarely take them down. Maybe you get some schizo kid who does but most people dont feel the need to.

        yeah I think you have been out of the loop news wise. people have been canceling flock and finding they still are collecting crap and taking out or disabling them.

          You think that because people are taking down flock cameras in parts of the US it applies to CCTV in public spaces all around the world? Am I suppose to read those and think “wow I guess people have finally woken up and started valuing privacy in public spaces”

            you were the one who suggested because people put them up. that implies individuals. public ones have never been popular with people but sure are with governments.

              Yes. They’re put up by individuals, business and government. Ring is extremely popular

                  I think you read an article that “reported” people getting rid of Ring based on nothing. In reality sales are increasing rapidly and they are becoming more and more common in the US and around the world. A lot of the tech journalism is completely false they know they can report whatever make their audience feel good/mad and no one really cares if its true or not.

                    and I think you want to find facts that fit your viewpoint and im likely biased to my own. I really don’t care what the majoritys view is though in relation to my own. I certainly don’t like the current administration in my country and that would not change if the president had massive popularity among the people. Needless to say I like the internet but don’t need to engage in it. Sure I might have to do banking and keep my email but I don’t need to be on social media. So if your wonderland ultimate bestus internet comes to be I just won’t be a part of it.
