I think the reality is, we need identity on both the client and server sides. At some point soon, if not now, assume everything is generated by AI unless proven otherwise using a decentralized ID. Likewise, on the server side, assume it’s a bot unless proven otherwise using a decentralized ID. We can still have anonymity using decentralized IDs. An identity can be an anonymous identity, it’s not all (verified by some central official party) or nothing. It comes down to different levels of trust. Decoupling identity and trust is the next step.

DID spec, also used in ATProto, is quite flexible. It would be nice to see it used in more places and processes https://www.w3.org/TR/did-1.1/ https://www.w3.org/TR/did-1.1/

It's called an IP address. Since some ISPs don't assign a fixed IP to a subscriber, a timestamp is nowadays necessary. The combination is traceable to a subscriber who is responsible for the line, either to work with law enforcement if subpoenaed or to not send abusive traffic via the line themselves Why law enforcement doesn't do their job, resulting in people not bothering to report things anymore, is imo the real issue here. Third party identification services to replace a failing government branch is pretty ugly as a workaround, but perhaps less ugly than the commercial gatekeepers popping up today
