And really our ability to communicate privately would be pointless if we weren't sure about one another's identity. But you wouldn't event have to abolish anonymity online entirely... Just on major social influences. The other option, imo, is that people become more skeptical and approach all content as though it could be politibots and/or advertisement. Then the notion of using the internet to "sample the crowd" is lost entirely because the crowd is tainted by bots and skepticism. This seems difficult because people seem to have built in systems for relying on peer samples to establish norms.
