I mean, the easiest starting step would be: Identity Verification via the methods Discord switched to after realizing Persona was horrible.

Much more ideally, some sort of government-ran zero-proof service where Anthropic can confirm solely that you are a valid US Citizen without Anthropic gaining enough PII to link my account to a particular legal identity (these already exist)
