Many formerly-robust internet discussions are smothered as the public learns gradually learns the extent of secret police spying by the USA & other governments.
Commentators wishing to share opinions recognize the impossibility of anonymity.
Using sign-in credentials of any type simply labels & registers your opinions -- with state security agencies, with dozens (perhaps hundreds) of their private contractor companies, and with the host site.
Such data is great for marketing, blackmail, espionage agent recruitment, etc. Clever foreign governments & savvy profitmaking firms would surely love access -- they've probably already tapped-in... These are real horrors unleashed on us by dimwitted non-technical bumbling officials (such as U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein). Whistleblowers Manning & Snowden deserve honor for identifying massive security flaws; Feinstein, Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, should be serving time in prison.
An invitation to comment is now simply an entree for self-input of data to your permanent record.
