Re: I'm not a twitter user
Anonymity needed if someone is e.g.
gay and people unaware or would get grief due to their religion, country they live in etc.
fleeing an abusive relationship, real name potentially helps abuser track them
employer could id a social media user, not like what they post & engineer reasons to sack them (especially in jurisdictions where firing juts on employer say so is relatively easy for employers & awkward and legally costly for sacked folk to do anything about it), similarly potential employer could use social media content to filter workforce to their desired mindset
etc, etc. (there's an almost inexhaustible supply of good reasons for anonymity)
