Where does net neutrality fit in with this?
Gotta keep out all those loonie lefties that might come over and spread lies about public health care and gun control.

I think you need to brush-up on what net neutrality actually means.

Ok. Freedom of rights and access goes deeper than that.
Net neutrality is the principle that governments should mandate Internet service providers to treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication. For instance, under these principles, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content.
Maybe freedom of rights should be included in Net Neutrality on a broader scale.
The UN Bill of Rights doesn’t say much about it.

Article 12.
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference.
Article 19.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
I reckon this could adversely affect their tourist trade.

What a waste. Relying on voluntary disclosure. Nobody is going to volunteer a compromising identity. Why not just get the identities off the web?

Maybe they do.
Remember, the US is the home of the NSA – the largest, best-equipped, most comprehensive information gathering agency in the world. Every online message (including this one, and yours, moll) is monitored.
Trigger words, phrases, etc. cause a cascade of automatic analysis, to the point where it may be referred to a human monitor. Messages of interest are recorded and categorised, and their metadata is analysed.
Maybe they already know your online i.d.s, and want to see if you own up to all of them.

I wonder how effective it is, you could false flag online conversations to divert resources and communicate the real objective using non monitorable methods
