> My face is not my identity

Nah, it’s infinitely more identity than a screen name. If you speak in person I know which human being had those thoughts. In the medium we’re communicating over right now neither I nor you could tell if the counterparty was just a computer program.

> Beyond that, what about the threat of violence for saying something? As another commenter points out, this is a real issue for marginalized groups, but also could easily become an issue for your average citizen sharing their political opinion.

If you’re in that situation then you already don’t have free speech, so honestly that tradeoff seems like it doesn’t matter

> While I agree it would be nice having some level of assurance that you're talking to a human, particularly going forward, the only way I could support such a system is if no party involved would be able to track what I visit or pin an actual identity to me as a user…

That’s a lot of words to say you don’t agree with the idea. Pinning an actual identity to you is what makes it non anonymous
