Yes, a privacy protection like that of Candid may promote honesty. But,
it may promote lies, twarted truths, trolling, defamation, flames, etc.
as well. Hence, it is important to develop a system that help people
filtering high from low quality comments. If someone writes "Trump
always says the truth.", a slashdot like system may give such comments
poor ratings, and thus help people to ignore them and focus on the high
quality comments.

If it were feasible to combine pseudonyms and a (simplified)
slashdot-like credit, threshold and moderation system, it would be an
important development of sympa that could make sympa an important debate
system that may promote serious debate (contrary to facebook). Indeed,
slashdot has the best peer review system I have seen.
