proper blame assignment is its own reward, at least the offending party's insurance rates increased (assuming they had insurance).
And their insurance paid for the whole repair and car rental. No deductible for me and my increase on my insurance.

So you gave up everyone's privacy for no benefit at all?
Their insurance paid for the repairs to my car and a rental for the duration. Otherwise I would've had to go through my insurance ($1000 deductible) + possible rise in rates.

Did that result in a hit-and-run charge for them?
The Tesla Sentry Mode only got their license plate in footage. They hit my parked car as they were backing out of their spot. I was able to go after their insurance to fix it.
Since I didn’t capture who was driving, the police didn’t charge them with hit and run.

The answer is that most people don't care if it benefits them. My Tesla has 6 cameras recording full time when driving and parked, but it benefits me so I enable it. It saved me $1000+ (my deductible and possible rise in insurance rates) when someone hit my car while parked at Costco (they drove off but Sentry Mode caught them).

Is section 230 actually the best policy/legislation to solve the problem of free speech on platforms, or are we just afraid of losing what we perceive as the only solution we have. I'm sort of tired of this stalemate of the crappy. Is it time to blow it up and build back better?
What is your alternative?

How does anyone know whether a family is engaging in that time-honored tradition of passing down accounts from grandfather, to father, to son, to child, and their posterity, in perpetuity?
Seriously though, unless you have positively identified the person who created the account in the first place, you have 0% chance of knowing whether it is the same person using it today.
Gamers sell their high-level accounts all the time. It would be a simple matter of economics that the Discord users with the oldest accounts sell them to 12-year-olds. Likewise, accounts are shared willy-nilly, whether or not that violates the rules. And accounts can be stolen or compromised, if you're really hard up.
No law or regulation is ever 100% effective in real life. Income tax is not collected 100% effectively. Should we not do it? Criminals are not caught 100% of the time, should we not do it?
Of course this won't be 100% effective, maybe 80-90% effective. That's all they need and expect from this system.

> and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive.
I didn't even realise discord scans all the images that i send and recieve.
They have to at least for CSAM.
You're thinking US. What happens when most of the world doesn't even have an ID? Does Facebook suddenly drop 80% of users? Do US Facebook users only see US content?
The internet is not only "the west." What you're thinking is what's already happening in the Chinese internet, and even they cannot really limit the amount of disgusting content released by Chinese websites.
As long as non-verified users have access to the same internet as you, that content will continue to exist.
I'm thinking most countries. Most countries have some kind of ID. Most countries in Europe does. If not its easy to setup one if there is will.
I've never said is an 100% solution, nothing is an 100% solution. This is a 90% solution, which is already a huge improvement. Why would non-verified users have same access as you? Sure they can read, but no creation.
I'm from China and use the Chinese Internet regularity. The amount of disgusting content is way less then the global internet and they have less people doing filtering for abusive content.
I think that would require someone looking at the content.
It does but way less. As I said "It will cut this work down by 90%, but I doubt many people here will go for it."
