Switzerland is also developping an e-ID (there was a public vote on it last year or so) Could be a good way to verify official accounts of people working in government or other public-facing positions 🤔 Just curious how it would work for people who prefer to use pseudonyms...

You can verify that you're a person without verifying your name (those are two separate labels). Imposing real names is a really bad idea, it mostly increases toxicity. It's an idea that mostly makes sense to politicians because they wouldn't dream of *not* having their name there :)

That's why I asked - I've had my fair share of online experience in fandom spaces with my real name involved, so I prefer to keep it offline now. I don't mind verifying I'm a person in some thought-through way or other, though. 😊
