Maybe I'm not following, but the fear is that government requirements amount to an ID requirement, which makes anonymous posting impossible. That's why I care about IDs, at least.
Yes. But my point is that until now that has not been made explicit, so there's no reason for websites to require IDs right now, at least not until the government does mandate such a system. So I was wondering what's the minimal effort that would satisfy current mandate.
