Facebook Discovers Fake AI-Generated Profiles

By now, people have the gaming of Real Name policies and Verified Accounts down to a science. Indeed it's harder to use false accounts anymore, that much is true.

However, it becomes much easier to Dox people. This allows you to put pressure on work+family+neighbors. Or alternately, if you're one of the more violent groups: you can outright go after your opponents in physical space.

This may be important and may be not. Numerous governments already do that: require everyone to disclose their [e-]life and punish for what they had to say. But if you do that in US or EU, will they turn into such oppressing states? Is total control a cause or an effect, or both?
