Ive always thought (noted here a bit ago) that the Internet needs a verified government ID. Each time you use it to comment on Facebook or any website you are helping verify the veracity of what your saying is true. If you don't use it then what your saying is socially/culturally in question, which I think either a minority or majority are already doing in terms believing what they read on the Internet.
Of course I dont think anyone here likes the sound of the above, which i thought of after seeing deepfakes videos (was downvoted heavily).
If downvoting love to understand the negatives of such a system?
Government validated identification online sounds like pure hell to me and the antithesis of an open and free internet, which is already under assault in many different ways.
I don’t think that Amazon needs government backed identification to be able to weed out fake reviews.
They could start by allowing only reviews from actual purchasers of the product. (I assumed this was already a restriction they had in place, but I just checked now and, of course, they appear to allow reviews from any registered user).
They could also only allow reviews from accounts over a certain age or with a minimum number of purchases or who have completed additional identity validation, either themselves or through some other third party.
Point is, it’s not an insurmountable problem for them. It’s just either not a priority or something they actively and intentionally do not wish to stop.
Sure, but this idea was prompted after seeing deepfakes. What's another way to fight the insanity and further erosion of veracity on the Internet/fight deepfakes. You note and seem to agree there's an issue with it the Internet too.
Also and as I note above it isn't anything you are mandated to use... only use when you want to ensure veracity to what your saying, posting, publishing, etc.
