Why stop at Twitter? I would expect some service to exist (any maybe it currently does) that can easily verify whether or not any account is driven by an actual human.
- netsharc 6y agoBut forced verification = people complaining about the lack of anonimity (which I would support too). Whistleblowing would be more restricted (or they could trust Twitter to keep their identity a secret, until a Twitter employee leaks their info for some money, e.g. Saudi money: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/alexkantrowitz/how-saudi-arabia-infiltrated-twitter https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/alexkantrowitz/how-saud... )
- mrtesthah 6y agoWhy not make it pseudonymous, and then federate identity verification by having neutral third-parties attest to who you are?
- tatersolid 6y agoBecause approximately zero non-crypto-geek humans would participate, as the mechanism is inscrutable and of dubious value. The complete failure of the PGP “web of trust” is a precedent.
