Peterson got his ass whooped the last time he proposed online anonymity to be abolished. Dude's losing his damn marbles thinking we'd have a better society if anonymity was removed.
Which is, as I said, sad. Peterson had legitimately good and important contributions; I'll always defend him for that, and not take those away from him. But he's currently operating as the enemy, and that can't be ignored either.
Yeah, he doesn't understand why Anonymous is a thing and why it is absolutely important that that be kept. I don't think he was paying attention to the early days of the Internet and how being anonymous helped shape the Internet to be the way it is now. Many entities are trying to remove that (and you got schizos like the ones on KiwiFarms who go out of their way to unmask people for some reason) and Peterson is now doing the equivalent of asking corporations and government to be even more evil by demanding anonymity on the Internet to be removed.
In other words, he's the new "The Internet is a series of tubes!" boomer of the 2020's.
I think it may be as simple as "he can't handle being trolled on twitter". Dude just doesn't belong on the internet and thinks the solution is to irreversibly damage the internet rather than sort his own shit out and log off. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.
People who rail against anonymity, like those who rail against porn, are missing the bigger picture. Sure, those things do indeed correlate strongly with visible problems right now, but they're both being enormously exacerbated by the simple fact that society has been almost entirely upturned by the radical demands modernism is expecting. We have altered how just about every person's daily life unfolds, and when things start to go wrong shallow thinkers look for the first answer they can find which places the entire blame and responsibility on someone else.
And seriously, there's no way the CIA is going to abandon the greatest honey pot that has ever been built just to satisfy some simpleton who thinks the point of life is to get along. /s
But seriously, that's the real problem. The Internet was built by those 4%

Lost. Dude lost his marbles, quite a while ago.
