Historically removing anonymous posting and sharing from services like facebook and youtube hasn't done much to solve these problems. Why would government-backed IDs and reputation scores attached to posts fix it, specifically? One person one upvote? Does that really help if thousands of people are getting duped by the fake content and upvoting it?
For a reputation system to actually work, you end up having to limit it to hand-picked "experts", and now it's a question of how you pick them and how you stop regulatory capture from ruining the system (spoiler alert: it will)
