Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez calls for end to anonymity on social media:
https://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/01/davos-2025-special-address-pedro-sanchez-prime-minister-spain/
Here are a few choice quotes:
"First, I propose putting an end to anonymity on social media. In our countries, no-one can walk the streets with a mask on their face, or drive a car without a licence plate. No-one can send packages without showing an ID, or buy a hunting weapon without giving their name."
No one can walk the streets with a mask on their face? Really? And equating free-speech on the internet with being able to buy guns? Seems extreme.
"Such an anomaly cannot continue. In a democracy, citizens have the right to privacy – not to anonymity or impunity. Because with those two, social coexistence would be impossible.
That’s why I believe we must push forward the principle of ‘pseudonymity’ as the functioning element of social media, and force all these platforms to link every user account to an European Digital Identity Wallet."
The Orwell estate should sue for plagarism.
