I wonder why such discussions are always framed as an all or nothing propositions. Zero knowledge systems are a decades old invention. Just very briefly: based on some ID a site issues cryptographycally signed tokens claiming some fact, e.g. the requester being an actual real person, adulthood, etc. Such a token could be presented by an otherwise anonymous user to a 2nd site with their own sign...
I like this idea, it's very interesting. Yet I always end up wondering how it could go sideways. A one time token (as in per message) seems onerous. A multi use token attesting "this is a human" could be sold to a bad actor using it to allow non-humans to masquerade as humans. We already see something like that on big social media where human accounts are sold to troll farms. |

Good point. Have no elegant solution for that at the ready. |
