As bot generated content gets better with AI language models and deep fakes it will become more and more necessary for any public facing entity to have a verified pub key to let people know it’s actually them and not a fake… I think this is coming much faster than people realize currently.

Not only that, but proof that the "platform" or one of its employees didn't go rogue and write a message on their behalf. Users retain their keys for signing
Agreed, it will also incentivize people to actually own what they say because you can’t delete it and it’s tied to your identity if you’re choosing to be in the public square. It aligns incentives for people to think more carefully about what they say because they won’t be able to pass it off as an intern if it comes from their pub key.
What if key gets compromised?
Then they had bad key management. 🤷♂️
I’m sure important figures will end up having some sort of multi sig or higher level security than an anon on nostr would want or need unless they cared about their own privacy/ security enough.
