Even anonymous users & their data can be reported to the authorities, and government agencies will have broad powers to take down content. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/02/enforcement-overreach-could-turn-out-be-real-problem-eus-digital-services-act https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/25/how-the-eu-digital-services-act-affects-facebook-google-and-others
