"Surely, we've seen the folly of demanding ID to use the internet, what with
the serious complications it can cause for plenty of people who aren't engaged
in criminal activity. Anonymity protects more than just the worst internet
denizens. If this idea has had a decade to stick and still hasn't, perhaps it's
time to finally let it go… oh never mind. Just last month, Senator John Kennedy
announced his plan to introduce a online anonymity ban. If you need a list of
reasons why this is a bad idea, Mike Masnick helpfully included a very long one
in this post:

Less than two months later, the Australian government is pitching its own
anonymity ban."
