The core problem to this is that reputation is valuable. Google or Twitter or Facebook or any of the other big web presences could offer a method to determine "reputation" of any of their users, and a way to canonically tie your identity to that reputation, but they'd be undermining their own business model. They want you to stay in their network, because the safety of interacting with only reputable users is the big selling point of their walled-garden social networks over open networks like email
- eridius 11y agoWhat do you mean by "stay in their network", when it comes to sending emails? Google is not in the business of being a paid mass email sender for businesses. What business email they handle is specifically for being the email host for a business's internal email, not sending their newsletter / marketing / account notifications / whatever else.
