    we’re all hanging around in Messenger groups with some “Is a real human” vetting process

    I think there is a very high likelihood this, or a communication concept based on this, will be the future. Maybe like SSL trusted identity certificates, but not for websites, but for users.

        No, 95 or so cents to establish a trusted bot-in-human-skin would be a bargain, so doesn’t offer any protection.

        I am thinking more of a web of trust kind of thing, ideally based on physically meeting people and exchanging keys in the respective first trust stages, and also with an easy option to distrust signing certificates again in the trust chain.
