Gigi is a treasure. He is so fucking good in finding the best words:

Forcing KYC on any platform, service, or app is a naive and short-sighted approach to fixing the problem of identity.

It is short-sighted because
(a) not everyone has an identity,
(b) not everyone can show their face or use their legal name without endangering themselves or others,
(c) it doesn't stop criminal or toxic behavior, and
(d) identity is prismatic, not singular.
