How do you prove that the generated key by the site is actually randomly generated? I certainly don't trust a random porn site to do this right.

If the verified list is tied against identity, there is only a simple law change required to de-anonymize everything.

Doesn’t really matter surely, you only need to trust the identity provider not to leak your identity and your porn provider not to have a key that your identity provider can link to.

You don't trust people who run a massive-scale streaming video platform to have the technical chops to generate random numbers?

I trust them to have the capability to do it. I don't trust them to be willing to do it despite legal duress (which is only ever a law-change away).
