But she's fine with continuing the anonymous donations to all the PACs that fund her.

Ah yes, one step closer to a totalitarian state. Let’s go.

Republicans really hate privacy don't they. In 20 years theyre gonna ban bathroom doors so they can make sure the "right" people are in the "right" bathrooms.

I agree with Nimarata Hailey, everyone should use their real names in social media and everywhere

Uh oh, social credit system coming from...the same people who bitched the loudest about the social credit system?

lol I’d love to see how the US Government would be able to enforce such a thing.

How will she round up all the minorities if they're anonymous online?

Oh fuck off, would ya?

Ah yes, more of that American freedom I hear so much about as an American.

This is some 00s level politicians not understanding how the Internet works.

Why even bother? It's not like anything is ever done about the non-anonymous threats we currently see. Ffs.

Terrible idea. Look, the nerds set up the internet and from the beginning never used their real names. There's a reason for that.

So if these genius' knew better, Hayley should learn from that.

The dumb part is this vow doesn't even make sense on the face of it to protect national security.

Someone doesn't understand the internet...

The gop is a national security threat

So she wants reddit and youtube like platforms to be named individuals. Is she going to then go after all the forums that still exist? If so, I guess I'll see you guys next in a Dialup BBS.

Don't anybody tell her that the Fediverse exists. It might break her brain.

First they came for our shit post accounts, and I said nothing....

"Every political donation should be verified by their name. It’s a national security threat," she said. "When you do that, all of a sudden people have to stand by what they say and it gets rid of the Russian bots, the Iranian bots and the Chinese bots."

So how is she going to make them non-anonymous in a way that businesses can properly verify identity? Does every single social media site need to have its own ID analysis system for every state-ID? I mean that seems like it would be ridiculously hard.

For that to be practical, they'd need something nation-wide, and probably digital.

So, does she want to suggest to her fanbase a national digital ID? How would htat go?

The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

Agree with her views on algorithm transparency, however abolishing anonymous accounts won't improve the situation around misinformation.

Facebook has required your real name for a long time, and it still resorted into people dissecting into echo chambers supporting their views points.

Yes, anonymous accounts allow people to hide behind a mask, but a lot of people spreading misinformation aren't afraid of being humiliated or ridiculed. It even helps spread it faster (celebrities, influencers, etc) in a lot of situations.

So, she really wants to just tank her own campaign, huh?

This will help me afford a home! This will help me afford kids! This will make me feel safe at traffic stops! This will help my union at work! This will help our extreme temperature swings!

There are people who will defend this

Rude.

I think she just wants to abolish social media. The memes get to her.

It was not the land of the free?

How are you going to disable anonymous accounts? You can always be anonymous if you want, meaning that this ends, AGAIN, with normies not having anonymous access and nerds and criminals still having anonymous access

I'm game for this...Republicans would disappear from the net overnight if they had to use their real names.

Terrorism enabler, Nikki Haley

How exactly does she believe they're going to accomplish this? Serious question cause it doesn't seem possible from where I'm sitting, anonymously.

Hahaha no.

Repugnantcants need it easier to dox harras and threaten people they dissagree with while claiming its the OTHER group ruining everything.
