Should we ban online anonymity? How would having your identity forcibly revealed affect you?
Tory MP's think so, blaming social media for extremism.
Here's the thing though, is it about that, or is it more about social media holding them to account where mainstream media, owned by mostly Tory supporting billionaires turn a blind eye, of spin the truth in their favour?
Social media has led to us all becoming more aware and better informed than ever before. The iron grip the mainstream newspapers, TV and radio have had on the information we're given has been weakened by it, but the death of another MP has brought an opportunity for those now being held to account, to push back.
The death of David Amess, despite having no clear links to social media has presented the Tory sham government with an opportunity in the form of the Online Harms Bill, which, given it wants to push through changes such as banning anything deemed harmful but legal, an utterly arbitrary, vague term designed not to prevent extremism, but enforce extreme censorship on all but approved news outlets, rendering our media, bad as it is still already, even worse, effectively becoming government mouthpieces, propaganda outlets and nothing else.
It would also have more impact if the MP's themselves were not amongst the most abusive people of all!
Most important of all though, is that a lot of social media accounts have to be anonymous. Whistleblowing on corruption or bad practice for example would become impossible if people had no protection for themselves whilst they do it.
Our security services can already track and act against online threats, so such a move would simply be to take control of the truth - and keep it from us.

►ABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on [ Ссылка ])
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless. I aim to upload new vids at least every other day, often daily, but due to the nature of the beast, it's reactive to what is going on around us. I hope you'll join us, subscribe and give feedback to keep up to date and be part of a community here with that ethos in mind. To demand a better place to live in.
