I was once involved in an idea around technical id verification (which I abandoned for ethical reasons). There is no technical solution to this either that isn't completely dystopian as far as I can tell.
Chosing to trust people can only be done in a non-technical way, and the cost of broken trust is much lower than the cost of lacking trust.
I don't have the spoons to write down the whole argument, but I hope more people can trust this to be correct 🙂

@iwein@mas.to @Intaglio_Dragon@furry.engineer @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange on the surface, in a vacuum, I'm not against id verification or adjacent, but seeing as we don't live in a vacuum, I'm always forced to ask "why?" and then the subsequent "how?", neither of which have ever received a satisfactory response.
