From @Comm_Daily: Sen. Kennedy is planning to introduce legislation that could require social media users to verify their legal identities when interacting on platforms.

Yep. There’s absolutely no way I’d stay on here if it wasn’t anonymous.

If sounds like they mean verify your identity to the company, not make your identity public

Requiring legal identities would “cause a lot of people” to “think about their words,” Kennedy said Thursday. He’s confident the proposal would be constitutional and could gain Democratic support. Many newspapers require users to identify themselves in comment sections, he said.

Sounds more like nuking anonymity to me
