Sounds great as a headline but I bet it winds up somehow very easy for Elon Musk to unmask his haters and very hard for John Q Random to drive that same process.

Meanwhile government agencies and big tech advertising schemes get a great new way to track who's using which website for what activity.

Super all around for everyone who already has power.
