Ask HN: Selectively Refusing Anonymous Interactions?

I appreciate the freedom of speech that anonymity on the internet can allow. However, for content creators for example, I can see the value in engaging only with people who have provided their real identity, perhaps through a KYC process, mainly to reduce spam and increase safety.

Do you think social media platforms should allow you to require this level of identity verification, possibly through a checkbox like "accessible only to people who have completed KYC". Assuming this would be backed by regulations of some sort?
