 The everyone part hits hard.
Besides publishing anonymously, in the past it was common practice to hire town criers to spread your bullshit and if applicable take the heat for it away from you.

These days such mechanism exists in the form of mass media, narrowly controlled paid for people with strong opinions and masked almost as a life saving utility.

Taking away the anonymity from simple people is just leaving more power for the top1%. Is it an accounted for outcome or just a side effect? I don't care, you're being a tool in the end.
