> Trolls, bots, and sybils distort online discourse and compromise the security of networked platforms. In some sense I think the authors' hypothesis is a good thing, ie that you can never fully verify someone online. It prevents wholesale algorithmic management of people, which is really what governments and companies would like to do, and forced some level of human contact or at least intervention. I expect it's inevitable that they'll find a way to offload the problem onto the citizen, for the most part they already have, but I'm personally glad it's impossible to assign me some kind of infallible identifier that will let me be The Castle style abused remotely and without recourse.
