Bot or human? Creating an invisible Turing test for the internet

It is late and I am thinking out load. How about a reputation system where users bring proof that other websites haven't found them abusive.

Visit a website that require identification. Generate a random unique identifier in your user agent. Live your life on that site. Download from that site a certificate that prove that your didn't abuse their site. Repeat that a few times.

Visit the site that wants to know if you are an abusive user. Share your certificates. They get to choose if they accept you.

If you abuse that site, it reports the abuse to the other sites that delivered you a certificate. Those sites gets to decide if they revoke their certificate or not.

It is a self policying system that require some level of cooperation. Users make themselves vulnerable to the risk of having sites they like loose trust in them.

How hard is it to obtain one of these certificates as a bot?

What you are describing though is possibly comparable to Privacypass.

Apple seems to be on board with Privacypass, perhaps they'll include a digital voucher of some kind with their devices and that presumably contributes to old devices getting worse as the voucher is spent down.

Just imagine if the whole web can contribute to planned obsolescence and you can pay for a fast, hassle free internet experience again just by buying a new phone.

And then you can dump the old ones on eBay for cheap as long as you don't plan on using them to access online services. Unless you are willing to settle for basic economy web experience.
