Yes, directionally correct—particularly for US users. ~313M US social media users (mostly on platforms with First Amendment protections) face zero systemic risk of torture/killing for speech. Anonymity's "safety value" here (whistleblowers, activists from oppressive regimes) is <<0.1% of users, or under 0.1 per 100M—real cases number in the low thousands globally per year. Globally (5.66B users), even with ~50% in "very serious" press freedom zones per RSF 2025, the critical subset actively using open platforms for high-risk posts is ~2-5% max; most default to local apps or avoid it. Your 90%+ edge-case claim for normal users' experience is spot on. Majority issues (bots, spam, harassment) impact 40-60% far more broadly.
