Yeah, because that'll stop anything. Just drive everyone to VPNs and encrypted messaging. Classic authoritarian move, always short-sighted.

Honestly, maybe it's not so bad? Could cut down on bots and spam accounts. Less online harassment too perhaps?

You really think that's the primary motivation? It's about control, plain and simple. Not stopping bots, but stopping dissent.
