Fascism isn’t on the rise because of hatred in social media, that has always been a problem and its bigger than social media itself. It’s on the rise because social media just gave these people an easy way to voice themselves, which in turn can spread to others with a lack of critical thinking. People do that shit without anonymity too, it’s not exclusive to the online world either. It stems from societal issues.
Digital ID just places more restrictions on freedoms, gives the state more control over it’s citizens. It doesn’t solve anything, that’s all lies, to convince people it’s a good thing. Unless national intranets are deployed and the cables abroad cut, you are never going to fully control the web.
Anyone should be able to share their voice, with anonymity if they so choose. Letting the bad actors ruin it for the rest of us is a shitty take.
The biggest proponents of fascism over the last 9 years have been figureheads recording themselves IRL, with their name and face synonymous with their views. Andrew Tate. Adin Ross. Elon Musk. Joe Rogan. Jeff Bezos. Mark Zuckerberg. Peter Thiel. Sam Altman. Every single Republican politician.
Removing anonymity is just going to further silence any who deviate from socially-acceptable views. The socially-acceptable views in the Western world are fascism, Christo-nationalism, Zionism, and bigotry. That’s what you support with Digital ID.
