They should create an authenticated badge on Twitter, if you confirm your identity, you can get one, then users could filter by “authentic badge only” so you’d experience twitter with only vetted, real people. This would greatly reduce trolls imho.
This is something which can be done and is easily achievable.
I have seen (and currently seeing) that to create an echo chamber a certain number of troll armies have to create it one first, trend it and then people take over from that.
Having a verified tag will really help and go long way. Sure, even the KYC process will hurt and potentially can be gamed with but having this visual cues will alert the user about the source and maybe the authenticity of the content.
