You only get to vote privately because the system can still verify that each person only gets to vote once.

There is no such mechanism on the internet. Anyone can make multiple accounts and vote multiple times.

Right. We are IDEALLY only identifiable by our content and where to reach us at for a given persona online.

A contrary ideal for where votes are supposed to represent an actual plurality of stake holders in the social contract.
