The only way it's feasible is really requiring an ID or credit card to sign up. Technically, it's pretty doable, but I doubt the users would be willing to go that far for authenticity.

That's what I mean by it not being feasible. Technically, there are many, many ways to make this happen, but they all come with very serious problems that I don't think most people would accept.

On the other hand, people accept things now that just a short time ago were considered outrageous and unacceptable by the majority of people (in the US, anyway). I maintain hope that this descent will stop at some point, and that hope is likely coloring my expectations.
