Privacy is almost always the answer to that one. Either that, or "to protect people from totalitarian governments". Honestly, I understand that, but I'm disappointed that no one goes further and says "Hey, let's see if we can solve both problems at the same time whilst maintaining security and privacy."

Easy solution.
Verified works get signed by their content maker.
Tony LaRussa is verified. Twitter issues him a cert. All of Tony LaRussa's works are signed with that cert.
Revoke the cert if there's ever a problem. Not really Tony LaRussa. Someone hacks his accounts. He passes away. Etc.
Unsigned works still permitted. But everyone knows no one claims the work as their own.
So now impersonation is just getting more nuanced, on Twitter, FB, DNS, Skype, Zoom, robocalls, Tinder, you name it.
If someone impersonates someone in person in the US, it’s probably a fine or an arrest. If someone does it on the internet, well, more often than not we can’t tell and even if we do know who did it, we may try them in the US but if outside, not much of a chance.
