ID is needed to vote or sit on a jury. So, I don't understand your point.

How people vote is entirely up to them and whether they want to reveal it. Having the -opportunity- to do so requires confirmation of identity.

That Zack Snyder Oscars story is a lot more significant to world events than people realize.

Clarifying: are you saying every social post shows the true name of the poster? or do they only need ID to use the service and can use nicknames? - Max Oct 26, 13:14 3
- If you say anything in public today, someone can record it on a smartphone, right? Why should social media offer more protection than real life? - David Oct 26, 13:30 2
  - To Bery's point, there are plenty of murderous people who would are proud to identify online. It's content, not the name. - Max Oct 26, 13:42 1
    - You can't write rules for the criminals. That's the whole point. They just keep breaking the laws in more brazen ways. - David Oct 26, 13:44
