Nikki Haley vows to abolish anonymous social media accounts: ‘It’s a national security threat’::WPDE covers news, sports, weather, and local events in and around the Grand Strand, Pee Dee, and the Border Belt.
As long as it’s primary season and we’re workshopping far right brain farts … free guns for all kindergartners? Make dogs wear pants? NBA but for white people? Grammy category for songs about how things used to be better?
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.
It’s not. She’s just stupid.
You would go after the platforms. Make it more expensive to resist than to cooperate, and the big ones will roll over… you might even add in a carrot by giving them some legal protections or promises of data purchasing contracts
From there you make examples of smaller sites that start to gain traction, and developers will get scared to do otherwise
I don’t think it could happen now, but it’s certainly achievable. Especially since large platforms like the idea - it makes their data much more valuable and gives them more control.
After a couple years of getting the public ready for the idea? It’s entirely possible unfortunately
@L4s This dumb broad would need to ban the Federalist Papers, too, since they were anonymous.
McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission ~>
"Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority [.....] It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation [.....] at the hand of an intolerant society."
Tricky Nikki said:
"Every person on social media 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."
Her handlers just want to control all narratives. She doesn't care about Russian bots. Nikki Haley is a bot.
What a dumb cunt.
I wish people wouldn’t use that word. It’s just propagating the patriarchy.
She’s actually a pretty smart person. I’ll give you evil. She knows how’s she’s manipulating people and that this is a bad plan, which is frankly much worse than just being dumb.
I get you and I wouldn’t call any regular woman that. But Haley is dangerous trash.
Hahaha no.
all this just to find the person with a Vegeta avatar that clowned on them or whatever
Can we abolish Nikki Haley?
She was probably picked as the new favorite: politico.com/…/donors-secretly-funded-nikki-haley…

I think she wouldn’t be as insane as Trump, but she ain’t great.
She’d be the W of the modern day. She’s definitely sane, and maybe she’s as evil as she’s campaigning as, maybe she’s compromising her morals for power. Either way, if she’s elected people get hurt. But unlike trump, desantis, or ramaswamy she wouldn’t bankrupt the country and implement purges. Unless of course she needs to to keep power.
Unpopular opinion: internet discourse would be slightly more civil if people’s real names were attached to their Internet Hot Takes.
But yeah, have fun enforcing that, Nikki.
I dunno. I’ve seen some pretty abhorrent shit over Facebook throughout the years.
Yeah Facebook radicalized a lot of people all with their names attached. People fucking showed their face while attempting a coup. We’ve got some real fucking idiots in America
internet discourse would be slightly more civil if people’s real names were attached to their Internet Hot Takes.
Let’s say that you’re right. Everyone’s word are now connected to their identities. Instead of expressing themselves openly, people now censor themselves because they’re afraid of how their family will react when they talk about wantibg to transition, they’re afraid of how their social activities will be judged by future employers, and they’re generally afraid to make any mistakes that might be held against them for the rest of their lives because it’s difficult to remove information from the internet once it’s there. Is this a better world? Politeness through fear and surveillance?
I don’t disagree with you. But there’s also a flip side. Nazis and other bigots wouldn’t be so open in their bigotry, which could lead to them recruiting fewer people to their cause. Also, state actors such as Russia and China wouldn’t be able to sow mis- and disinformation so readily.
For the record, I believe Nikki’s plan is dumb and will never, ever happen. I’m just using my imagination to see some potential for benefits.
Yes a social score is required for a healthy life. -China
I just don’t agree based on the state of Facebook.
internet discourse would be slightly more civil if people’s real names were attached
It was that way in the very beginning of the internet (before www and during the first years of www).
Everthing was relatively civil, and most people went by real names or by mostly well-known nicknames/pseudonyms.
Then money moved in and took control. Anonymity (as opposed to pseudonymity) became neccessary sometimes.
Then huge waves of stupid people moved in and believed that they were in control. Anonymity and pseudonymity was everywhere (and hardly anyone knew the difference).
The bad news: Neither money nor stupid people have any plans to move out.
Good goy
Stupid rotten Cunt.
Repugancants need it easier to dox herras and threaten people they dissagree with while claiming its the OTHER group ruining everything.
This is idiotic but it did make me think, would you end up with like… some sort of MAD policy but for doxxing? If everyone can be doxxed then no one can be doxxed?
Can’t we just abolish this Nikki Haley instead? Whoever she thinks she is.
GOP Free …dom?
#LOL
The way I feel about this is similar to how I feel about getting rid of all guns. It would definitely make the country safer on the whole, but it would also endanger the vulnerable and violate the bill of rights. It would also be government overreach.

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