I'm game for this...Republicans would disappear from the net overnight if they had to use their real names.

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right? This is another in a hilarious series of self-owns. The vast majority of problematic accounts are right wing assholes.

[–] Nommer@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Seriously. They are too cowardly to even use their main accounts. A lot of them have alts because they know they're unpopular.

Yup. Wouldn’t put it past her to be targeting Trans kids who are seeking help anonymously though.

Repugnantcants need it easier to dox harras and threaten people they dissagree with while claiming its the OTHER group ruining everything.

[–] Cory_t_@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

It’s not. She’s just stupid.

Wait, your real name isn't nutsack? Now see here, what exactly are you playing at bub?

all this just to find the person with a Vegeta avatar that clowned on them on Twitter or whatever

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 7 points 2 years ago

Saw a south park episode like that

@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.

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?

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Can we abolish Nikki Haley instead?

[–] uis@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

What a weak nation. Even internet trolls are security threat to it.

I'm gonna be interested how that's supposed to work with false positives, err, collateral damage, err, plausibly deniable canceling of free speech of citizens. Nice try.
