I think people who want to stay anonymous just will not participate anymore. Like I’ve enjoyed using this site, Reddit etc but couldn’t care less about dropping them if I need to have an id verification to access. Someone will probably create a new communication method to replace this.

>No amount of sign up fee works as an alternative.

Simply put money is worth too much, at some point someone will want access to this human audience and offer too much to be resisted.

>It should be noted that falsifying ID is a crime

Lol, no one gives a shit on the internet. People will use stolen ID'S to get accounts. If the network is lucrative enough, governments will provide fake IDs to spread propaganda.
