I believe it tests against DFSG§5, "No Discrimination Against Persons
or Groups".

    <URL:http://www.debian.org/social_contract.html#guidelines>

The argument presents an example of someone who might have very good
reason not to identify themselves, as a way of showing that a work
which requires identification of the person as a condition to exercise
the freedoms in the work does thereby discriminate against such a
person.
