Sounds like ones demands have changed, or atleast they got a hold of themselves. whatever lead to them walking back on this, it's the end of another battle for internet privacy, but not the end of the war. As apps continue to track you in new mysterious ways behind their closed sourced software, and the governments continue to crack down on encryption. Anonymous names are important for privacy too.

I don’t mind anonymous American people having free speech; what I don’t like is anonymous Russians and Chinese and Iranians having free speech,

Wait that’s even dumber, why would she think her law would impact everyone except Americans?

I interpreted it more as a "I'm willing to sacrifice all Ameircan's right for anonymous free speech, which I do value, to take away that of foreigners too." which is a typical braindead racist take.
