There are many regulations that slightly inconvenience the many, to address the problems of a few. Individually these cases are benign. As a group they compound complexity.
Each new reform should be evaluated on both its benefits and the burden that it brings.
I do view technology as a double edged sword for the freedom of the people.
It would have helped if the author had mentioned this at the beginning of the article. Or they had let someone neutral write the article entirely.

Can anyone confirm that this method truly anonymize?

Will it work, meaning it would make extortion significantly harder?
It has gotten worse in the past year.
I am actually surprised people see positives about Tik Tok. IMO it has a much worse societal impact than competition.
I lived next to the superfund site of Palo Alto, which was right under Mayfield Soccer Complex. Little had been done to monitor the risks for the children [2]. Reading this article linking TCE to Parkinson's disease, I hope there will be more awareness about Silicon Valley toxic undergrounds.
