I’m just not convinced that anything not tied directly to a government issued ID is going to be strong enough.

Most of the time you want to confirm that you're talking to someone from a given context -- they own a specific Twitter account, or you met them at a party last week, or they sent you an email or were present in a meeting that you want to have a conversation about.

Government ID doesn't help much with those -- it's actually the thing that is not strong enough.
