Agreed that offering an identifier like this would be ideal. We should be fighting for this. But in the meantime, using a passport ticks most of the boxes in your list.

I’m currently working on a social network that utilises passports to ensure account uniqueness. I’m aware that folks can have multiple passports, but it will be good enough to ensure that abuse is minimal and real humans are behind the accounts.

The main problem with this is that a hell of a lot of people don’t want to give sensitive personal documents to social media platforms.
