While it's true that mandatory identity verification will inevitably be leaked on a massive scale, the thing you need to understand when framing these arguments is that a lot of the folks in favour of such measures don't see that as a bad thing. Full de-anonymisation of the Internet is their explicit goal. Like, the actual objective here is for everyone to have a public record of everything they say and do – online or otherwise – linked to their government ID. The universal panopticon is the good ending as far as these people are concerned.

Franz von Bayern, commonly known as the Duke of Bavaria, is the current head of the House of Wittelsbach. His family ruled Bavaria until the German Revolution of 1918. Were it not for the Act of Settlement 1701—which disqualified Catholics from inheriting the throne—Franz would be the rightful heir to the English crown, according to the Jacobite line of succession. He regards the matter as just a "charming historical curiosity."
The House of Wittelsbach opposed the Nazi regime in Germany. During the last years of World War II, Franz and his family were held captive as prisoners in concentration camps. About the experience, he stated: "We were prisoners, persecuted, but we were not victims of the Shoah. It wasn't up to us, who returned from exile to Bavaria and our old positions, to see ourselves as victims. But as contemporary witnesses dwindle, I realized it's important to talk about it." After the war, he studied business management at the University of Munich and became a passionate modern art collector.
Franz has been in a romantic relationship with Thomas Greinwald since 1980:
"We came from two different worlds, and the expectations placed on me meant that Thomas was often required to make sacrifices and allowances—much more so on his part than on mine. Especially in the earlier years, this often involved humiliation for him when he was not treated appropriately as my partner. Without his willingness to cope with this, my life and the fulfillment of my commitment would not have been possible."
The couple made their relationship public in 2023. Afterwards, Franz explained the move:
"Tolerance isn't enough. Without actually approving of it, one tolerates the way of life of others just because one is tolerant. That doesn't do justice to the situation; we want things to be a matter of course. Many people don't even dare to think about certain things because they're afraid of the consequences. If I had to define my life goal, it would be fearless thinking, essentially: freedom from fear."

Pasar miseria y ser madre a los 15 años
Meterse en el boxeo para defenderse de la violencia que le ejercía su exmarido
Ganar SEIS mundiales en sus diferentes categorias
Ganar DOS Records Guinness por ser la UNICA MUJER en obtener cuatro títulos mundiales en distintas divisiones
Que manera de arrancar la semana para la re mierda loco. Ahora la fuerza y voluntad sí la vamos a encontrar mirando al cielo.

I was initially planning on being a casual fan, but then I thought, why not just let it consume my soul instead?

love the library. there's no risk. you can take out a book and go "wow this sucks" and just give it back. and when you do that you're still making the library's Number Go Up so you'll be able to roll the dice on even more books. all for the low low price of free/you already paid for it with your tax money so you might as well use it

I can tell we watch a few too many cooking shows at home, because my eight year old told me "the ginger isn't really coming through in this salmon". In his defense, he was right, but at the time I didn't appreciate it.
