So, no anonymous advice or learnings. What about polls and voting? And how would this be implemented and what about the rest of the internet?

Doesn’t surprise me seeing how low Macron went to suppress the Yellow Vest movement. There were routinely videos of protesters being floored and beaten indiscriminately by Macrons security forces in one incident.

ending online anonymity does not seem realistic: you would need to be able to get/buy the "IP logs" of foreign proxies/vpns.

what worries way more: macron has put in charge of the administration online services ppl who literaly sold france to big tech. For instance, they broke noscript/basic (x)html web browser support. I don't think he even knows that.
