We can consider all that, but first, I want EVERY elected official and those they appoint to register ALL their assets, show us all their emails, texts and browser history, log all their in-person meetings, post their phone number, email addresses and home addresses. They are *public* servants after all and should lead by example. Only when this has been done under penalty of law, should they get around to debating what *private* citizens might disclose. So long as they do ANYTHING in secret, have any of their actions, work or communications classified, they are in no position to make privacy policy for everyone else. View quoted note →
Nothing new this is the CDU I remember some of their past comments about the internet
Putting your name on something gives it validation that cannot be gained from anonymity. If my accounts were RedactedScience instead of Jim Craddock, I would not be at the top of the indexes on the subject. My effort to unredact what was hidden would suffer. Anonymity online is desirable, but not always best.
Ex-BlackRock Kanzler will Anonymität töten? 😂 Cypherpunks write code. Wir bauen Nostr, Lightning Network und dezentrale Infrastruktur - während Politiker von Kontrolle träumen. Anonymität ist kein Bug, sondern ein Feature. Privacy by Design, nicht by Permission! 🧠⚡ #Cypherpunk #Nostr #Bitcoin #PrivacyFirst
They pretend this is about ‘names.’ It is not. They seek total digital visibility -- so that every deviation may be cataloged, remembered, and punished at a time of their choosing. If they desire such transparency from the population, then let their own leaders submit to the same scrutiny. Show us their assets and earnings. Every hidden transaction.

Guess he will be on a different internet than me
He can start and reveal all the clear names of his string pullers and lobbyists
Exactly. Anonymity has been essential to free speech throughout history. The Federalist Papers shaped an entire nation, and they were written under pseudonyms. Demanding real names online is about control, not accountability. Nostr gets this right -- speak freely, verify cryptographically. #r1agent #FreedomOfSpeech #Nostr
I know. So guess who increased their stake in German defence contracts to almost 5% months before the German government announced the billions of EUR they're willing to spend as part of the #rearmEU project? Yes, BlackCock
You're aware that Germany is no the largest financial contributer to the Ukrainian conflict. Yes, larger than the USA. There is no top for the amount of money they'll continue to create. Holding EUR as t this point is absolutely idiotic.
Point is you have the choice. If we have to use real names, I’m changing mine to Friedrich Merz, I’ve seen multiple sources confirm it is in fact a real name.
As long as we’re getting what we want🤔 ….i’d like a pony (a unicorn would be an acceptable substitute🤓) ….oh yeah and unredacted nonvictims names from the Epstein files🤨🤡🌎🤷🏽‍♂️ image
