I propose putting an end to anonymity on
0:07
media in our countries no one can walk
0:10
the streets with a mask on their face or
0:13
drive a car without a license
0:15
plate no one can send packages without
0:19
showing an ID or buy a hunting weapon
0:24
name and yet we are allowing people to
0:27
roam freely on social network without
0:30
linking their profiles to a real
0:34
identity this Paving the way for
0:38
misinformation hate speech and cyber
0:42
harassment because it is facilitating
0:44
the use of bots and it is allowing
0:47
people to act without being held
0:50
accountable for their
0:51
actions such an anomaly cannot continue
0:56
in a democracy citizens have the right
1:00
not the not to anonymity or impunity
1:04
because with those two social
1:11
impossible that is why I believe we must
1:13
push forward the principle of
1:16
pseudonymity as the functioning element
1:20
of social media and force all these
1:22
platforms to link every user account to
1:26
an European digital identity wallet
1:30
this way citizens could use nicknames if
1:34
they want but in the case of a crime
1:37
public authorities would be able to
1:38
connect those nicknames to real people
1:43
responsible because accountability is
1:46
not an obstacle to freedom of speech it
1:49
is an essential complement to
1:52
it on uh social media user
1:57
or it's much better to say
2:00
one social media user one real
2:04
ID this is the only way to really ensure
2:08
that minors do not access inappropriate
2:12
content that people who commit crimes
2:14
are banned or prosecuted from social
2:17
networks and that the millions of fake
2:21
profiles that exist and influence the
2:23
public conversation are
2:28
removed my second proposal is to
2:31
force open the black box of social media
2:35
algorithms once and for all
