anonymity and privacy seem to come at odds with a social platform’s ability to moderate content and control spam.
If users have sufficient privacy and anonymity, then they can simply use another identity to come back, or use multiple identities.
Are there ways around this? It seems that any method of ensuring that a banned user is kept off the platform would necessitate the platform knowing information about the user and their identity
I can’t say what it should be. I’d argue that each Content Instance should have it’s own path to becoming trusted. An example could be: demonstrating quality post/comment content during the quarantine period.
