    I’d like to see about implementing some sort of identity verification service for the sub. I’m an IT engineer/developer, so coding is absolutely my forte… Services like Stripe allow people in over 100 countries to match face to government-issued-ID to prove their identity (at a cost of about $1.50 per verification).

      Honestly though … with the disinformation campaigns at State scale, the botnets, the AI content, and whatever comes next, how do we not have to have a verified human user internet in the next 20 years?

        Thats a really good question. The only options I can think of is better captchas or to straight up consider any output from a machine as inadmissible/unverifiable

          Yeah I didn’t ask how would you not want it – I said how will the current functions of the internet operate without it given the new forces we already see ruining everything,
