At the WEF, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez calls for the end of anonymity on social media by forcing them to link all user accounts with the European digital identity wallet.
I’m only partly ok with it if it comes with anonymization of my identity. It should be possible to authenticate yourself without anybody knowing who you are or knowing that you authenticated. Maybe we could use an ID card scanner that generates some sort of code that can be used for anonymous identity validation.
We should also be a lot harder on social media companies that abuse our data. These companies should not be allowed to exist.

It won’t.
They’re already too powerful, even without a monopoly on authentication.
Too powerful in what way? More power than they should have? Definitely. Too powerful to be stopped? I don’t think so.
