A German minister has proposed making the use of real names mandatory on social media platforms, aiming to curb hate speech, threats, and the spread of disinformation.
Officials in Berlin said the measure would increase accountability among users and make it easier to prosecute online crimes. Critics, however, warned that such a requirement could endanger privacy and discourage people from expressing their opinions freely.
The debate over stricter regulations for platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok is gaining momentum in Germany, particularly ahead of political events.
