Real Names, Real Responsibility

The internet is drowning in anonymous voices—bots, trolls, fake profiles, and AI-generated deception. Real people are losing control of the digital world that defines public opinion, elections, trust, and social harmony. Real Names, Real Responsibility offers a groundbreaking blueprint for restoring authenticity and accountability online. Drawing from years of observations and early advocacy for identity provenance, Modo Bhaik reveals 12 essential features that can rebuild a safer, more human-centered internet. Inside this book, you will discover: How identity provenance stops foreign influence and impersonation How bot labeling, verification, and API governance can dismantle automated harm How watermarking and manipulation detection protect society from deepfakes How transparency, audits, and cross-platform coordination restore public trust How incentives, economics, and digital literacy reshape online behavior How governments, platforms, and people can collaborate to reclaim truth Written at a time when AI-generated content floods every corner of the web, this book shows why accountability—not censorship—is the key to saving our digital future. If you care about democracy, digital safety, truth, or the future of human conversation, this book will change the way you see the internet. Real people. Real accountability. Real solutions.
