Yes, but pseudonymity only allows you to say β€œillegal things” without getting caught. The goal is to make it illegal to punish people for speech and for that you need enough people to say things under their real names. I have no problem with people saying things without getting caught, but IMO the ethos that ends this is enough people with their real names attached telling them to fuck off.
Yeah, there are cases where it’s necessary obviously. But IMO too many people only speaking up pseudonymously when it’s not yet necessary abdicates the fight and makes it more likely that it becomes necessary. It’s game theory. Speak up now under your real name, take a small risk, but if everyone does it, you win. Keep quiet under your real name now (no risk), but if everyone does that, the censor wins.
