Strongly agree

Yes, but only to verify age and protect children.

Strong alignment with Conservative emphasis on child protection online; the Online Safety Act regime and related debates have centred on age assurance/age verification to protect children, making ID/verification for age a comparatively plausible Conservative position.

Agree

Yes

Conservatives have backed stronger online regulation and identity/verification measures in some contexts (e.g., Online Safety Act focus on accountability), but have not consistently advocated universal government-ID login for all social media users.

Slightly agree

Yes, removing anonymity is the only way to stop bots and trolls.

Conservatives have highlighted problems of anonymous abuse, bots, and trolling, but the absolutist claim that removing anonymity is the only solution goes beyond typical Conservative policy, which has leaned more toward platform duties and targeted enforcement.

Slightly disagree

No

The party has generally favoured tougher controls on online harms and greater platform/user accountability, so a blanket 'No' is somewhat at odds—though civil-liberty and practicality concerns mean they haven’t fully embraced mandatory ID for everyone.

Disagree

No, requiring ID creates a massive privacy risk for vulnerable people.

While Conservatives acknowledge privacy and data-security risks (and the UK has GDPR-derived protections), the party’s recent approach has prioritised safety and enforcement over anonymity-based privacy arguments, especially regarding online harms.

Disagree

No, anonymity is a fundamental right that protects whistleblowers and dissidents.

Conservatives have not typically framed online anonymity as a fundamental right; their recent policy direction has leaned toward reducing anonymous abuse and increasing accountability rather than elevating anonymity for whistleblowers/dissidents as a primary principle.
