> Same people that complain in this post about over-jealous verification, will complain in another post about misinformation and propaganda.

A bit tangential but actually I suspect those are nearly disjoint sets. In my experience the people who complain about misinformation and propaganda are okay with identity verification and censorship while those that want privacy (such as myself) typically dislike censorship and don't want a central authority getting involved to judge whether something is misinformation.

It largely comes down to trust in authority and centralized versus decentralized system design.
