On the one hand I agree with you - I don't like Meta's black-hole-like gravity trying to pull everyone into their ecosystem.

On the other hand, I agree with him - the era of having multiple identities is coming to end, or rather, has come to an end. I don't like that he coaches as "having integrity", but rather it is a simple fact that you can no longer hide multiple identities of any significance, so owning up to who you are is probably good. I'd still like our culture(s) to evolve to allow people to keep work and home and whatever else interests separate.

To say it another way, I really like having separate identities, but it is no longer feasible to actually prevent 3rd parties from connecting them.

It may very well be true that 3rd parties can easily connect my identities. However I still see no reason to share my private identity with Bob from accounting.

I guess no one you care about has a relentless abusive stalker ex.

Or is a schoolteacher who wants to post their opinions freely on Facebook to their old friends.

And those are “mainstream” folks, without even starting on people who are possibly subject to religious persecution in their physical communities, people considering a gender transition, etc.
