Astroturfing will still be a thing after ID. What, you think the government is going to go after their own bot armies?

I think it would be a lot more difficult for anyone to do and it isn’t like people will be using government platforms at least not in the west

Why? Like, what makes you think that?
Because of ID tracking? Say you have attach your government approved ID to use social media. It is now trivial to check how many accounts you have made and how much you have posted. You certainly can't be posting faster than the fastest typist in the world. And if you're mostly just copy pasting, is the quality of the posts actually worth engaging with?
While I am not against internet ID, there is a case to be made for social media for the harms they are causing.
