proposal: government-issued CivicNet ID (privacy-preserving cryptographic token tied to your biometrics)
required to (1) make social accounts, (2) donate to campaigns, (3) vote by mail/online
you can still use a pseudonym on platforms, but the platform must verify one human = one account, bans stick, no infinite alts
political ads only shown to verified voters; full public ad library with source of funds down to the dollar
all uploaded media gets a tamper-proof watermark linking to a verified uploader (not public by default) to nuke deepfake ops
law says ID can only be unmasked with a court order for felonies/threats, not because a mod got cranky
tl;dr trade a slice of anonymity for bot-free discourse + cleaner elections
This kills troll armies and foreign psyops.
Which future do you want, /pol/?
bot apocalypse forever
or adult internet with ID checks. You’re fucking call.
