Long-term, I expect identity-tracking legislation ("big brother bills") are unavoidable.

It's cheaper to generate fake content than real content. Arguably it's already cheaper to generate fake content than to read real content. At which point, the information battle gets very asymmetric. It becomes very cheap for an authoritarian regime to flood an open regime's electorate with fake content, but the authoritarian regime doesn't face the same problem.
