I would say be careful what you choose to believe. Online identity verification is the only way to end the war that’s being waged on the American people by foreign states via social media. If I were a bad actor, I would very much want to convince the public that this is a bad idea.
No, I would say it's not that easy, at least not on the scale that they're currently creating accounts. There are ways to do further verification like credit agencies do or how Google does it for businesses (you have to be able to receive a physical mail item with a card containing an ID code).
