So.. now the platform knows your name. And the Afghan/Saudi/Russian/China gov tell twitter to release the name of the user. Sounds like a great result for the LGBT users.

Oh I missed the part where your identity is actually encrypted, not known to the platform in plain format. To challenge the platform censorship and put back your removed comments you decrypt your identity. If you are afraid of state actors coming after you, you simply move on and your identity stays secret.
The platform doesn't need to be solving all the problems if the world. For example, if you are Russian dissident in Russia you first need replace Putin IRL, then you can use it as a westerner to engage in politics.
How many gov's in the West are trying to remove E2E encryption? I know the EU is attempting it for chat tools. We have to "save the children".
In Australia assisted Access means any encrypted data is not safe. (Because the gov could have required the introduction of a back door, without even telling the company in question.)
I think Canada has something like that in place too. So if you take part in a protest, (even on twitter) be prepared to have your bank frozen.
