Same with internet trolls: make it possible to authenticate privately to social media platforms and the bots would disappear!

Bots can authenticate just as well as human users. Both bots and trolls are completely different set of issues that cannot easily be solved, regardless of your approach.

    Bots can have private keys that are only issued to humans?

      You will need to implement some very invasive issuing mechanism to ensure that only those with a pulse can procure new keys. Even then, keys will still be bought or stolen - as was the case with pre-Elon Twitter checkmarks.

        In Europe some countries have ID cards which have a private key on it. If you report it stolen it goes into the revocation list and they issue a new ID card to you.
