In the context of this post, it's bigger than that. Eve would be a government employee who can likely make new "human" profiles for Mal instead of using her own. Any centralized "human" identification system so we
can vouch for a single entity-identity would probably be either run by the government or indirectly controlled by it (someone has to be able to input birth/death records at least, and countries like China aren't going to let e.g. Worldcoin operate within their borders unless they can control accounts).
Spam bots would use stolen/purchased credentials and get shut down. State-level bots would be free.
