Nikki Haley is attempting damage control after she said that everyone would have to be verified on social media under her administration.
Now she’s saying that she doesn’t mind if Americans have anonymous speech, that she was only referring to the Chinese, Russian and Iranian users:
.@NikkiHaley incoherently attempts damage control
She repeats her plan to register all social media users by name
Then says "I don't mind Americans having anonymous free speech"
…if you force U.S. users to register their names, that makes "anonymous free speech" IMPOSSIBLE pic.twitter.com/xfzjzjDSLZ

So how exactly do you only register Chinese, Russian and Iranian users without registering Americans? How do you differentiate? I don’t think that’s possible, which means her administration would still end up trying to kill anonymous speech on social media.
