Has China Killed Online Anonymity? Nikki Haley Wants to Do It, Too.
China's social media platforms have asked anonymous influencer accounts with more than 500,000 followers to display their real names.

Ron DeSantis now has an issue to help his stagnant campaign. If he's smart (and that's certainly debatable), he could use this issue to pull safely ahead of Haley and possible close the gap to a respectable 2nd place finish in Iowa to Donald Trump (who could implode and give DeSantis a win there).
