A politician from one of the modern countries that still imprisons people for lese-majesty wants to end social media anonymity? Sounds like a great idea!

If you offend the royal family you can get punished. There was a case some year back about a rapper that sought asylum in the Netherlands or Belgium I think, as he risked imprisonment in Spain due to his song lyrics criticizing the royal family. It's crazy to me that one could seek asylum fron an EU country in a different EU country

What's crazy is that there's a risk they'd prosecute someone just for talking shit about the monarchy.

There is a solution to the monarchies problem of people shit talking about them. Don't be part of a monarchy.

If they need help not being part of the monarchy, I'm sure there is something we can do for them.

To add insult to injury, Spanish Monarchy died ages ago. The house of Borbon is a French monarchy line. When they didn't want them in France they should have just gone away, not moved to leech off the next door's neighbor.

Individual privacy cannot be infringed. The measures against corporations are a good idea. The rest are only good for official accounts so public officials cannot be impersonated. For private individuals, accountability only needs to happen when they enact violence.

The same as a firearms registry keeps guns out of the hands of criminals?

Yeah, tell him all the ways that would be dangerous.

You won't stop any crime or even any hurt feelings by doing that. You're only going to punish people who are following the law.

Criminals can fake their details

there's no benefit to any common man.

There's only benefit to the advertising companies and governments around the world.

It's a little something called "total information awareness" they want to know who everyone is and what they're doing at every second of every day

Yeah, saw him making the point at his presentation at the WEF's Davos a little while ago. WEF doing WEF things. It blows my mind that despite so many people who think the WEF's weird technocratic dystopia wetdreams are some weird conspiracy, all you have to do to see what they are all about and how true it all is, is to go through their site, reading between the lines of their white papers and past their creep, overly positive marketing and slogans, or watch their YT channel.
