I guess this is a good thing. It will reduce spammers and scammers that are invading every server like locusts these days.

It will reduce attacks on and abuse of people, because those are usually founded on anonymity (no fear for repercussions etc.)

I don't mind having a platform where everyone is at least somehow verified. yes, sure, you can bypass it and it is not 100% foolproof but what ever is? It raises the barrier for abuse and that's a good thing IMHO
