The left-wing Irish government has vowed to push for the European Union to prohibit the use of anonymous social media accounts in what may set the ground for another battle over free speech with the Trump administration in the United States.
Ireland will take over the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union for a six month term starting in July and looks set to push for more restrictions on the internet, namely the imposition of ID-verification for social media accounts. The move would effectively end anonymity on social media, which critics have warned will hinder dissidents from speaking out against power structures.
Speaking to the Extra news outlet, Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris said that anonymous accounts and so-called disinformation are “an issue in relation to our democracy. And I don’t just mean ours. I mean democracy in the world.”
“This isn’t just Ireland’s view. If you look at the comments of Emmanuel Macron… of Keir Starmer… recently, in terms of being open to considering what Australia have done, if you look at the actions of Australia, you know this is a global conversation Ireland will and should be a part of,” he said.

European Union is building an Idiot Wall , No steel or bamboo for them ,LOL
I have to be careful what I write my cousins in the UK. They are conservatives and HATE the Islamic invasion. If they post the wrong thing, off to jail. My little red haired fair skinned niece has been bullied and assaulted by the brown terrors and the school does nothing. Their own government says Ireland is not for the Irish.
There is one hell of a civilizational war on the horizon and it will make WW2 look like a picnic date. Sadly, it won’t happen on my watch and my offspring and progeny will be on the front lines fighting Islam and their own government.
Given modern communications capabilities and the existence of pissed off autists it is extremely unlikely that a permanent way to destroy anonymity can ever be found.

I did Nazi this coming from the EuroNazis.
