That's such a slippery slope. I totally agree it would encourage responsibility. The internet would be a different place altogether. That's the good part. Now imagine all the psychopaths you might have annoyed getting ahold of your street address. Because you know if the data's there, it's gonna get compromised and it'll all leak out eventually. Richard Stallman might be paranoid to an extreme, but an internet with complete transparency isn't a place I'd hang out.

Hindsight is 20/20 vision as they say, but making the internet anonymous was a bad design decision as far as security goes.
There are no solutions, only trade-offs.

Oddly enough, I'm both for this and against this at the same time. I don't like the idea of requiring anything, but it's clear a looooooooooooooot of people act way too foolish behind anonymity online. I don't believe you can legislate morality though (causes more problems than it solves), but I sure do wish "adults" would grow up already when online. But, we've also have already seen the media use this for evil.

Great points man. I'm not sure how to really feel about this, but I do know legislating morality (the intent behind this) always leads to government overreach and problems. For instance, we got stupid laws in some states say crap like you can't sell donkey's on Tuesdays (an example but they got stupid laws like that).

Today we can talk to them senses to not to use or use with caution social media. With ban - especially one that cannot be forced - it will be gone. A final win to the filthy side of social media...

Too bad you already gave up all of your guns... that said, pull the router, don't give kids smart phones, parents be responsible, etc. It's not complex, it just requires conviction, courage and the ability to laugh at your kids while they melt down. Vodka helps.

The sociopaths bullies would not be affected, because they don't bother hiding their identity now. They enjoy the attention they receive from terrorizing those they believe are weak. Instead, those kids who are seeking help anonymously would be forced to reveal their identity in the process. As one who was frequently bullied and spent a fair amount of my adolescence depressed and suicidal, I find this a concern.
