Everyone should have to provide their real identities for all kinds of social media, which in turn would be directly tied to social credits and justice system; this would discourage a ton of bad behaviors on the internet, including but not limited to cyberbullying, racism, trolling, and so on, and would instead encourage good behaviors by gaining social credits. Social media platforms should also be hold responsible for any kind of bad content, and have to compasate all victims of harassment. Really, just some days ago a wonderful young woman of just 22yo died by suicide for being harassed so much online; she didn't even have social media, but harassers were able to get pics of her and create a fake story that escalated a ton...
please no
I don't care about "freedom" that's actually used for harassing and killing innocent people. Saving people's life, like the life of that young woman, should be priority in all cases. All kinds of social media that don't comply should be banned. I'm really serious on this take. Go have your freedom in your island country all alone instead.
Anonymity swings both ways here. It saves lives of people posting for advice on how to leave abusive partners, of people in unsupportive environments forming community and kinship, and of people who need help but are too ashamed to attach it to their name.
I’ve known people harassed to suicide, and I’ve known people whose online activities were exposed to abusers they can’t escape who were then driven to suicide for it. I support anonymity, but I’ve dealt with the dark side of it, including years long harassment campaigns
the result would be a total police state. I understand you don't care about freedom. I do.
That's not freedom, that's unregulated communication mediums being exploited to harass and kill. Do you really rather innocent people dying? If I was a politician, I would be definitely fighting for better regulation of social media to save lives.
harassment is bad. anonymity is good.
Have you watched Black Mirror and thought that it’s supposed to be a utopian series?
Honestly, I haven't watched it. What association are you making here?
There was an episode about people giving social credits to each other through an app which would affect their entire life, showing how such a technology could go horribly wrong.
