This is a first step to shutting down anonymous accounts - here in Russia for example the account must be linked at least to a phone number or to a government ID and I see no reason why other governments don't want to do the same.

In Germany it's not the case, but in Germany they have to store your IP address, and your IP address records are linked to your passport. It is illegal to get an Internet connection without a responsible party. The person who provides their passport is liable for all misuse no matter who did it. Public wifi was effectively illegal in Germany until recently due to this rule, until a special exception was made for public wifi but the rule is otherwise still in place.
