I don't know why @Facebook isn't capable of preventing fake-accounts to pop up.
@tristanharris talked about it in his podcast #Yourundividedattention.
E.g. FB wasn't even capable to distinguish impersonators from the original @SheTalksFinance
Here might be a solution:
If
1. our web would incentivise us to act in good faith
2. websites would be capable of proofing the validity of accounts on a much more fundamental level, i.e. if our browser starts to connect to a website or if we login
3. It'll be possible to identify spam or dummy identities
To achieve that, our web needs to use natively encrypted datatransferprotocols (i.e. replacing #HTTPS with #UDSP) which are capable of identity certificates and cryptographic key-pairs.
Then technology will do a great job of filtering these scammy accounts.
And I think here @Sentivate will play a big role. I'm excited to see it grow into a realistic replacement of our web (universalweb.io). Combining the decentralization & centralization in a meaningful & efficient way. It'll be faster, safer, smarter & easy to adopt. $SNTVT

Why the internet is not only 500% too slow but also in a crisis: Follow this thread to read about it in just 5 Steps.

(based on @Sentivate's Universal Web project and the idea of @tommarchi and his team.)
1. The Internet is structured by different layers: Physical Network (underground cables) Data-Link (WiFi/Lan) and Network Layer (IP-Adresses). You can picture this as the infrastructure of the internet.
2. Problem: We have too much traffic. More and more devices are trying to drive on the metaphorical streets (Computer, Smartphones, your refrigerator, #IoT's etc.), but if the streets are full of cars, it will cause traffic jams aka a #Bandwidthcrisis.
