Why is it always called upon more identification to counter abuse. Why is this misconception still around?
Make your system robust so it is not a problem if someone wants to abuse it. Then security or identification will not be nessecary.
Every identification mechanism can (and will) be bypassed. And the harder it is to bypass it, the more consequences it has, since it is so hard, chances are little it can be compromise. The Internet community is nearly infinite therefor how small the chances are, it probably will happen, see here the base of Murphy's Law. If the system is robust enough there is little or no idenitification necessary to make it work well.
The Internet is build and designed for robustness not for security, from this view it is not necessary to govern the Internet.
Make sure you can undo abuse attempts, or crimes.
The Internet is only a means of communication, make sure the things around it are robust enough to handle abuse attempts. Do not try to create the Internet abuse proof, for that is a futile attempt.
