is it really that stupid to maintain user accountability on a free forum? it's a good way to avoid sockpuppeting and ban circumvention.

the FTC is the government agency that concerns itself with (general) consumer protections, including matters of privacy
not allowing you to end your session on a website would certainly be a problem in the context of privacy, you not being able to control whether a company has access to your information
