verified identities using government id schemes, loads already exist, i verified my account on LinkedIn for free
yeah, I personally can't support linking a true identity to an online identity.
it just feels ick and would only be a matter of time before people started to get blackmailed for shit they did online.
I'm all for taking personal responsibility but not forced responsibility like the Chinese have today.
yeah we would have to trust the anonymization and security of the authentication services but i see no other way to defeat the bots
i think there could be many other benefits as well if it works
