Nikki Haley advocates for anonymous posting on social media

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, who previously advocated for social media users to be verified by name, suggested that Americans should still be allowed to post anonymously online. Haley argued that anonymous bad actors spreading misinformation pose a national security threat, but clarified that she doesn't mind anonymous American citizens having free speech. It remains unclear if Haley envisions only American citizens being able to post anonymously or if she wants to ban anonymous posts from certain countries. Her proposal drew criticism from Republican rivals, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis calling it dangerous and unconstitutional. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy described Haley's stance as "disgusting."
