Demanding reliable proof of authenticity like full name is FAR more risky for some people than others.
For women, it opens us up to stalkers.
For queer people, it can get them outed, harassed, SWATed, their workplace harassed and review bombed unless they fire them.
For minorities, it can get them exposed to harassment.
Stripping pseudonymity from us doesn't make the internet a safer place for us, it makes it inherently unsafe, and means that we can no longer participate in public spaces without risking our personal safety.
