“outlaws anonymous communication” - This sends chills down me more than anything else I can remember. The people and organisations that benefit from this can’t be trusted.
The only thing this does is control the law abiding public. Criminals are already breaking the law, and won’t care. It is trivial to build an anonymous communication app. There will always be a workaround.
Anonymity, and free speak should be human rights.
This is one of the many reasons that prohibition doesn’t work. Anything prohibited gets pushed underground and criminalised, but can’t be stopped. The best option, like with drugs, is to decriminalise and educate. Teach kids so they “know” before they become adults, otherwise dangerous stuff is a surprise waiting to burn kids when they turn 18.
