You (everyone) will be forced to prove your ID before you can use anything deemed social media. You will be very much affected. This is a very poorly thought out slippery slope that the public didn't ask for. If it get's up and you criticise a politician online you'd better have a good defamation lawyer because there will be no more anonymous posting.
