Yes. These are essentially social and political questions, the tech angle is important but doesn’t change the (already deeply-studied) questions. Need recognition of that plus some tech knowledge to dissect specifics.https://twitter.com/staeiou/status/930445660788178944 …

Maybe make it so ubiquitous that status is lost? If anyone can request to prove their identity and get verified, maybe that'd help. Unworkable level of admin there, though.
