pcslim: It might be interesting to keep track of this kid. Does he become amazingly successfull or does he suffer a premature and tragic demise? Probably somewhere in between, but when you mess with someone like Elon Musk, you never know what will happen!

Why Anonymity is NOT the problem
As long as employers can fire people for something they say online, anonymity is absolutely necessary.

Jordan Peterson recently made some comments against anonymity. Peterson sometimes has something intelligent to say, but more often than not he's predictably lame. Anonymity is absolutely necessary for a democracy. Otherwise, why would ballots be secret? The same goes for expression of opinions. You can't speak freely if there's a chance that someone will retaliate.

Former intel analyst warns the US is beginning to turn into Chinese surveillance state
Most people have surveillance installed in their homes. Most businesses have security cameras. Many cities have cameras all over the place. You can barely go anywhere without being identified on camera. And yet the authorities allow all sorts of real criminals to go unpunished for their crimes while looking for any excuse they can come up with to go after people who don't agree with them.

Mom Booted From Radio City Music Hall by Facial Recognition Tech
This is pretty extreme. There are two problems to consider here. First of all, they shouldn't have all this personal info about the lady and then, secondly, they shouldn't have barred her from entry to the event based on that information.
