So much effort has been put into social media to prove that a user is a real person. This is backwards. I want every message I receive from an organization to be authenticated instead. Or in addition to, if you prefer.
Every email or text that comes from an org should have a verifiable signature. It would cut down on spam and would allow for better filtering of important messages that I need to know about. This goes for public and private orgs. I used to think that apps might fulfill this role, because each one is a verified channel, but text and email being the de facto comms makes it unworkable.
Signed messages or GTFO.
