This could be the beginning of the end for anonymous social media. I can see lawmakers suggesting we move to a KYC model like fintech or like China has where a real ID must be associated with each social account. It would certainly help curtail bots and also make it riskier for people to promote violence in a public forum.

Someone wore their work ID lanyard to storm the Capitol. It's not risky to promote violence in public forums in the US provided you're not specific about it. Heck, the ringleader was the president; it's not like we need him to submit ID to get his Twitter back.
