It is 100% a scheme to attach government ID to email and social media accounts. They sorely lack the power to silence and punish people for celebrating events like The Adjustment or The Neckening. Despite their direct ownership of the social media platforms, they are still unable to control them as much as they'd like. The public's ability to collectively recognize the fraudulence and unpopularity of elite politicians and institutions is an existential risk.
I keep coming back to this. It feels like it's a push to put a name and a face to everyone on the internet and control what they see/post. It's being framed in an innocent way of protecting kids from porn while putting in a backdoor of censoring the internet at large and also putting the screws to lgbtq+ people.
