Every breath you take: Why real name registration is not for a better web but a better surveillance
Katika Kühnreich

The internet is largely untamed – with all the good & bad that comes with it. After communities formed spaces of their own rules & freedoms, governments & companies are trying to shape it on their behalves.
One tool to bring offline rules to online spaces is real-name registration. Loved by authoritarians, now popular in “western democracies” & “W Social”. Often argued to protect “the children”, “the women”, “democracy”.
Are we better people if we are controlled?And who controls the controllers?
