I think you raise a good point, which honestly begs the answer to a high-level unsolved problem: can you guarantee a 1-1 relationship between a person and an account online. Even better if that account can also be anonymous.
The implications to solving both could bring functional change to trolling and bot traffic in open forum sites.
- hire_charts 9y agoEven then, can you guarantee that the person behind the account isn't being paid to say things they wouldn't otherwise say?
- dabockster 9y agoSince we had Tom Wheeler successfully lead the FCC's net neutrality regulations after being a cable lobbyist, we can't guarantee anything in that regard.
- SomeStupidPoint 9y agoThat guarantee isn't required for better online discourse, which is good, because it's not something we can reasonably guarantee.
- Kalium 9y agoBefore considering technical implementability, we may want to consider if such a thing would be wise.
- pera 9y agoDoes it really matters if a comment is made by a troll/shill/bot or just a normal illinformed individual? The real issue is people believing inaccurate or false statements, which at the end may result in bad state policies. We can't solve this problem by checking identities.
