It's a war on any free speech, they don't like. They could just add more restrictions for certain people.
Exactly. They want to know who is saying what, which is why they're making these services ask for ID. It's about control, and "protecting children" is the excuse.
It's the same reason they're trying to ban cryptocurrencies like Monero (private, non-traceable transactions), end-to-end encryption, copyright circumvention tech, etc. They want backdoors to access all the information under the guise of "security," but really it's about control.
Screw all of it. Resist at every turn, and hopefully they'll violate your rights so you can sue them (with help from groups like the ACLU) and force a policy reversal. That's the most effective tool we've got.
