Germany’s chancellor Merz calls for ending online anonymity, demanding real names on the internet to fight manipulation and “enemies of democracy,” especially around youth and social media. 🇩🇪

But removing anonymity risks silencing whistleblowers, activists, and vulnerable people who depend on pseudonyms for safety, not abuse. 🛡️
