So few people care about this that it's never going to stop. There are far more negatives to be solved by reducing anonymity than the positives of keeping a semblance of privacy.

The most positive thing about the internet is the possibility of open discussion. Taking away anonymity e.g. destroys many online self-help groups, that don't want to be associated with their issue. And also the china-like surveillance issue is coming with it. I want a transparent state, not a transparent citizen.
For every self help group there are hundreds of forums for hate speech. For every open, sane discussion there are hundreds of discussions that are railroaded by trolls. I agree that a transparent state is brilliant, but the reason for transparency is accountability and the individual needs to have that accountability also.
