To be honest, I don't like initiatives towards a "verified web" either, and am very scared of the effects on anonymity that stuff like Apple's PAT, Chrome's now deprecated WEI or Cloudflare's similar efforts to that end are aimed at.

Not to say that these would just cement the position of Google and Microsoft and block off the rest of us from building alternatives to their products.

I feel that the current state of things are fine; I was eventually able to restrict most abuse in an acceptable way with few false positives. However, what I wished for was that more people would understand these tradeoffs instead of jumping to uncharitable interpretations not backed by real world experience as a conclusion.
