We either have a free, open and anonymous internet.... or a dystopian identity-required-at-every-point-of-access, heavily moderated, hellscape.

Is the implication here that this is a slippery slope to where I'm going to need ID in order to use DuckDuckGo or Lemmy or any other website? Because that just seems silly.
