The logic is simple - making it harder for them to operate will diminish their impact and effectiveness.

Unless they are government backed trolls with fake ids issued ad-hoc by that government. That's one of the possibilities.

People already sell access to their Google accounts so buyers can run not-that-legal ad campaigns. Creating one extra step won't do much to solve problems as long as the incentive is big enough and budget is sufficient.

  • In Western Europe there are no records of government backed trolls.

    You present it as a possibility when it isn’t one as long as we can avoid autocracy which the existing trolls are working towards.
