alt Hacker NewsMy point is that once we reach fascism, the opposing voices stop mattering. I think it's naive to think that anything happening in the digital world can properly fight that.
And since technological anonymity and privacy are clearly moving us towards fascism, it's not a net good anymore.

looks like we're talking different fascisms.
I don't want to offend you, it is just that your phrase is like straight from "1984" (or from Russia today) - "war is peace" and the likes.

Hah, as if the fascists themself are in loving unity. (Or clear on the term itself)
There were and will be opposing voices also in deepest fascism.
More broadly, totalitarism is rather the term, where the whole society is total under control of one ideology. That can be fascism, but also other ideologies strive for that.
But yes, allowing anonymous voices is one way to counter it.
