They can't fucking WAIT until this ID verification goes through. Literally frothing at the mouth for it.

I don't get it. Once ID checks are here, do they think people will keep expressing these kinds of opinions publicly? Oh course not, they're just going to keep going further underground online or find offline ways, do they really think we'll just keep posting incriminating stuff with our real name attached?

The oppression is the goal. They want you to tell 10 people locally, not 10 million worldwide.

Yeah but the 10 locals are the ones that might actually end up doing something instead of shouting into the digital void.

Suppression of anything critical of Trump and the other snowflakes is the goal. Oppression is their favorite tool, but they’ll settle for intimidation which still ends up being effective even when our institutions uphold the Constitution.

People are already pushing all kind of extreme and suspicious opinions on multiple websites under their "official" name that can be found on their ID. This won't change. And the risk isn't people stopping saying thing at one point; it's the list of "allowed" topics changing over time, then going back to older content.
