 There are definitely valid reasons for anonymity. Snowden, Assange, Satoshi, that level. Maybe BTC devs too. 

But the average person in a western country should post under his real name IMO because not doing so empowers the censor and doing so encourages others to stand up for the truth. 
 Case by case is the way.
Plus people can use multiple identifies, real and anonymous. 
I think people naturally choose to expose their identity, because they want recognition, fame, validation.
If they don't, they have reasons for that :).
In my case there are a few. 
I also have accounts with my real identity on different social media platforms, but there, when I rarely post, I don't mention anything related to what I post here. That guy is someone else...
 
 Yes. It should be up to the individual obviously, but my argument is the vast majority when posting in the public square *should* do so under their real names.

 just their real names or should they post a photo id too?
