Erm... I'm glad you liked it, but reading it again, it's not that insightful. I write a fair share of my comments when I'm not my best.
There 'are' risks involved, but those are relatively low compared to somebody falling for a phone scam or signing a "petition" on a parking lot.
But consider getting yourself a copy of 'The Art of Deception'. I read it 'once' over a decade ago and I still get "chances" to apply what I learned from that book several times a year (in 'actual' real life).

I'm more worried about people in the US being allowed to just 'have guns', even if they do not have an urgent reason to own them - but I do get your drift.
The thing is: What can one really do with a voice? How many places do you know where stating your name is enough to verify that you are you? What business would you call where the employees would even recognize the sound of your voice in the first place?
Normally, there's some kind of verification process, so if you don't put a lot of private information on the internet, you're not particularly endangered by identity theft. On the other hand: If you make posts on your birthday to celebrate and use your actual name online... Maybe even list your phone number or email address somewhere... Use the same password for multiple accounts... Or use Discord...
New technology is scary. Sometimes there are risks involved. Sometimes, the technology cannot be properly regulated. Once the djinn is out of the bottle you cannot 'un-invent' guns. ...or the atomic bomb. We have to smarten up and learn how to deal with it.
If you are scared of 'getting scammed', buy and read 'The Art of Deception' by Kevin Mitnick. It's essentially a book on self-defense against social engineering:
