Seems like you’re using 1985MustangCobra to mask your identity. We should ban all online usernames and tie everything to a digital Id

that’s not the same, if i was commit a hate crime for example, on this profile, and the police investigated it, they can get my ip address from my client connection. however, someone doing the same and masking their ip address with a VPN to like, i dunno, sweeden but they live in the UK, is a big problem when VPN providers make bold claims of “protecting your identity”
