Surely national ID cards will help against these porn videos. Like they did help against terrorism. And credit card fraud. Or cheating in Chinese video games.

IDs don't prove your real identity, especially online.

The article complains about the low hurdles which xvideos has for creating a new account (they only require an email).

I can’t think of anything else than phone numbers and IDs which they could require for uploaders. Do you have any other ideas?

A phone number helps a bit. In many places buying a handset or a SIM will leave some paper track the police can follow.
