I'm not generally in favor of speech-limiting legislation to protect the powerful from the people but if it results in comments getting turned off on Youtube, well, every cloud has a silver lining. Who do I have to donate to to get stupidly overreaching and almost certainly unconstitutional legislation passed in the US?

you have it backwards, they are protecting the people from the government which passed a law requiring the use of real information to link accounts

I think the joke is that suppressive, unconstitutional legislation is acceptable if a side effect is that people can't comment on YouTube -- a site which is notorious for its low signal to noise ratio.

The state of many nations (China, North Korea) is quite scary. Anonymity is a requirement if the people are to be given free speech (without fear of their government -- although people should never fear their government).
