I think this can only be considered a good thing, with the chaos that authoritarian-wokeology has brought upon the Western world over the past decade, in cyber-space.

Not sure how what you call "the chaos that authoritarian-wokeology has brought upon the Western world" is relevant here, but I see a serious potential problem with the above bill:

I predict an epidemic of illegal content from spoofed sources, for the purpose of both hiding/protecting the actual source and getting innocent alleged sources into trouble with the law.

There are going to be problems, of course.

But I think the amount of bullying that goes on from accounts that are not using real names has become a real problem over the years. I used to advocate for a Wild West, thinking people were responsible like me, and who could judge how to use their freedom. But most people seem to need some authority in this area, it seems.
