Nikki Haley vows to abolish anonymous social media accounts: ‘It’s a national security threat’::WPDE covers news, sports, weather, and local events in and around the Grand Strand, Pee Dee, and the Border Belt.
But she’s fine with continuing the anonymous donations to all the PACs that fund her.
But that’s different you see. Because money is speech and therefore needs to be protected, including by allowing total anonymity of donors. Whereas we’re talking about online accounts, where people of course never engage in speech or express ideas. Hey, wait a second that can’t be right. Hmmm, okay maybe it’s because she’s saying it’s a security risk, because you don’t know if they’re a foreign national spreading propaganda online. This is totally different from political donations, which of course have never been bribes from foreign powers masked by anonymity… Hey wait! She got us again. Almost like she’s some kind of shill who wipes her butt with the constitution while trying to create a crony supported facist state. No that can’t be.
But yeah, according to Republicans, money is speech, but speech is not speech. I’m expecting their next campaign platform to be 2+2=5.
How could speech be speech? Money is speech.
Ah yes, one step closer to a totalitarian state. Let’s go.
Fortunately it’s just empty, laughable rhetoric designed for Faceboomers who don’t understand the internet.
I pull uuuuuup
Republicans really hate privacy don’t they. In 20 years theyre gonna ban bathroom doors so they can make sure the “right” people are in the “right” bathrooms.
Uh oh, social credit system coming from…the same people who bitched the loudest about the social credit system?
Always has been. I remember when the people losing their damn mind about drag were horrified at North Korea’s approved haircut list.
I agree with Nimarata Hailey, everyone should use their real names in social media and everywhere
Ohhh the irony
Hey, you never know, maybe their real name is Meridian Longitude. I’ve never heard of Longitude as a last name but I wouldn’t put it past some parents to name their kid Meridian.
lol that was sarcasm. I’m not putting my real name on lemmy but I do think it’s funny she doesn’t use her real name either because her maga supporters would go nuts
I looked it up, and it’s actually spelled Nimrata. Which is funny, because it sounds like it would be a romantic language’s feminine form of nimrod.
lol I’d love to see how the US Government would be able to enforce such a thing.

Ah yes, more of that American freedom I hear so much about as an American.
Oh fuck off, would ya?
This is some 00s level politicians not understanding how the Internet works.
Why even bother? It’s not like anything is ever done about the non-anonymous threats we currently see. Ffs.

Terrible idea. Look, the nerds set up the internet and from the beginning never used their real names. There’s a reason for that.
So if these genius’ knew better, Hayley should learn from that.
“I’m an internet Originalist. What did the founding nerds think? That’s all that matters.”
I enjoy this take quite a lot and will be using it myself.
🤦
The dumb part is this vow doesn’t even make sense on the face of it to protect national security.
National security is now anyone’s feelings about mean things.
Republican feelings. About anything really.
What insecure nation
Someone doesn’t understand the internet…
So she wants reddit and youtube like platforms to be named individuals. Is she going to then go after all the forums that still exist? If so, I guess I’ll see you guys next in a Dialup BBS.
The gop is a national security threat
