I worry more about measures that may be taken by platforms to prevent using pseudonyms (Facebook is a big enemy on this respect) in the mistaken belief that real names (or "authentic names", as Facebook calls it) would make people interact in ways that don't cause harm. Add to this making surveillance a de facto experience of having an online presence and humanity (as we know it) would be doomed.
