This guy did a very brave thing for us. Hopefully, nothing bad happens to him and his decision to not be anonymous is fucking insane...

I don't think it is as insane as you might think. He is guessing that the government would figure out who it was that leaked the information and then they would come after him.

The original law was on incredibly shaky ground however and the goverment isn't likely to want this issue to end up in court ever, so they would have to either terminate him (the nine-milimeter kind of termination) or prosecute him for child porn or something like that, or disappear him. Right now his name is published everywhere so they can't really do any of these things.
