Watch a debate on Online Anonymity in Westminster Hall this afternoon at 1430h London time, led by @DamianHinds. Will be interesting to see whether MPs understand that real anonymity includes “from them”. HT @WebDevLaw

…not to mention that if you “ban” anonymity on the platform end, then you have to (a) enforce that ban for all software written by anyone, globally, and (b) enforce the lack of anonymity for prettymuch every single web-fetch, a feat which would make the “Would You Like Cookies!”-popups seem user-friendly.

Better, instead, to apply bans to “committing abuse”.
