Germany's leader wants to end anonymity online, demonstrating ignorance of both technology and the manifestly good reasons for anonymity (e.g. person with views govt doesn't like, whistle-blowers, etc.).
He, like so many before him, wants you to get a license to speak.

@breathOfLife Well said
can we make this the hashtag when referring to things?
or would something like #IDBackdoor, or #PrivacyBackdoor make more sense to the average person on the street?
either way, the point is, #ageverification sounds way too nice for what it actually entails in practice and #deanonymization sounds too posh
actually #LegalBackdoor makes more sense, because these laws are unironically a security issue that forces admins to adopt questionable security practices that are then exploited by crackers.
(then again, if that happened, the governments could also have admins on the hook for bad data management if a breach happened...)
