        By photo ID, I don’t mean just any photo, I mean “photo id” cryptographically signed by the state, certificates checked, database pinged, identity validated, the whole enchilada

          That would have the same effect as just taking the site offline…

          No one is giving a random site their photo ID.

            You’d be surprised, many humans have simply no backbone, common sense nor self respect so I think they very probably would still, in large numbers. Proof is facebook and palantir.

      That’s awful, it means I would get my photo id stolen hundreds of times per day, or there’s also thisfacedoesntexists… and won’t work. For many reasons. Not all websites require an account. And even those that do, when they ask for “personal verification” (like dating apps) have a hard time to implement just that. Most “serious” cases use human review of the photo and a video that has your face and you move in and out of an oval shape…
