Unless you are innocuously named Thomas Smith, yes it's incredibly dangerous to require real, usually traceable names. In protest we can all change our name to Thomas Smith (even us women) and then we'll see how fun it is for those that demanded this.

I guess that would be 'homonymity' instead of 'pseudonymity' or 'anonymity'.

If everyone uses the same name, 'Spartacus' would be a good choice.

I think a good portion of the world has decided on “Muhammad”, just need to converge on a spelling and boom close to a billion men with the same name.
Yes that was my reference :)
