How do you know it’s being done by real human when you only know a real human posted it? The KYC'd person didn’t have to write it; they could've used AI or another person or copied it etc. This has been lost already; I don’t think communities should filter on humans, but on high quality aka correct, informative, well written etc.

My thought process is

* The iPhone stores your biometric data in its Secure Enclave

* The Secure Enclave also holds the cryptographic private keys

* Every action you do against the server requires your phone to add a cryptographic signature, which can only be written when the iPhone verifies you via FaceID

Apple could act as the Certificate Authority letting websites know that this signature aligns with an iPhone user. Apple may not need to let the website know exactly who performed the action, but just say that Apple verifies that this is a real person making the action.

Sure, but you still don't know who or what actually wrote the text that got posted.

Yep, that's the best part of the idea IMO.
