Nah, the solution is deanonymization.

People with no shame, and with strong anti-social tendencies should not be given a safe space.

Facebook has a real name policy and is a prime example of internet-fueled insanity. Why does deanonymization not help Facebook be a more positive place?

To tie it to my own view, I don’t think deanonymization has any effect if the name is meaningless to 99.9% of the community. For every person fired for posts, there are 10000 others who are not.

If companies really wanted to fire people for posts, they would start with firing people for vaguely anti-capital sentiment. Not saying racist things or whatever.

We need to be careful what we ask for. Who is effectively doing the censorship matters. Powerful people are probably not going to be censoring based on 'good morals' - because they themselves do not have good morals.

For every person fired for posts, there's a lucrative Fox News commentator gig.

Because Facebook monetizes the engagement of its formerly reasonable users by selling that engagement to spam bot farms?

Does that also apply to people living under oppressive governments? Anonymity can be a useful tool for sharing information that those in power don't want released, for example whistle blowing.

You said it brother!

We should make everyone who disagrees with baxuz where name tags on their chest in the real world too. So we can know who they are.

We can even put the names on a bright yellow six sided star. That way everyone can see them clearly.

If anyone should be given a safe space, then everyone should be given a safe space.

So that people with no shame, and with strong anti-social tendencies who are in power can come back at the de-anonymized people. Yeah, thanks.

A woman wearing anything but a burqa in an extremist Islamic society would be popularly categorized as one of the "people with no shame, and with strong anti-social tendencies". So according to you liberal women in Iran, Pakistan, Sudan etc should not be given a safe space, is it?
