In America Trump has produced an executive memo stating that anyone against him is a terrorist. The terrorism label carries a shitload of legal weight, asset freezing being one aspect.

If you're online presence is tied to your real ID, you got problems. The government can easily hunt enemies for one. Imagine if Trump got hold of my lemmy posts. It's no exaggeration to say federal agents would storm my home, freeze and seize my assets and throw me in a concrete and steel box for life.

Again, the government merely need point a finger and cry, "Terrorist!" and the target is fucked.
