i think this is a deplorable side effect of the good intentions of those people involved in making these rules. with the increasing effect of unsavoury elements on common people over the internet growing, i can totally understand why people would want to ask for id. but the unfortunate consequence is that it confers none of the securities it is meant to provide and instead serves to annoy and in cases even as far as hamper privacy of individuals.
i would still like to ask that we should remember that still it is in EU where they charge big corporations for trying to subdue competitive business culture and own everything or for trying to surveil and influence people. at least they are much better there than in Asian region where you won't have to look hard to find business monopolies.

also it is easy to blame them. but when we think about it, have we any alternative ? we have these problems of false propaganda and extremist influences among others heinous ones. what do we do about them ? online freedom is all good. i want that too. but how do we ensure safety and justice online ?
