Greece is considering tying every social media account to a verified identity.
No anonymous posts or replies, directly changing how people interact online.
βΌοΈπ¬π· Greece is moving toward a total ban on anonymous accounts on social media. Every post, every reply, tied to a verified legal identity.
Greece's Digital Governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou confirmed today that the plan is meant to fight "toxicity," "hoaxes," and "character assassinations."
Mister Papastergiou says modern "digital democracy" should be "inspired" by Ancient Greece, where citizens openly expressed their views.

"Only criminals care about privacy."
Your bank encrypts transactions.
Your doctor locks medical records.
Your lawyer seals case files.
You close bathroom doors.
You whisper secrets.
You password-protect your phone.
Privacy isn't paranoia, it's how basic trust works.
