Forcing people to use their real names on screen is just another way to track people and profit off of it.
Using a "screen name" like we do on kbin/lemmy and the like prevents stalkers from harassing you in the real world.
Moderating tools are how you stop abuse, not forcing everyone to submit their government ID to use a platform.
Freedom and privacy are individual rights, being forced to be tracked and harassed is a crime against humanity.
