the public prefers ending anonymity online to losing social media entirely.

The public is made malleable through systemic cannibalisation of the education sector, weaponisation of the media, and corruption of representatives. That's why we have Trump in the US or the AfD in Germany. "The public wants this" hasn't been a valid argument for some time now. There is a right and wrong in some situations and this is one of them.

The detrimental effects of social media are proven in many peer reviewed publications. No one is debating that. But why the hell does everyone have to cut back on their personal freedom to mitigate those issues? Big tec created a monstrosity of an algorithm manipulated internet to maximise their investment opportunities and somehow no one is putting the responsability on them to remove their own digital cancer from our society. Instead we get to feed the algonet even more of our personal data to make the issues even worse. That's the shitty part.
