Limiting geographically's probably not gonna work, botting's always an arms race. If you only increase sign up requirements there, they'll just pay Nicaraguans or Chileans a few cents to act act as a node to sign up via, or buy access to the same compromised devices on US soil used to commit DDOS attacks, and turn them into impromptu VPNs to sign up through.
You'd have increase sign in requirements for everyone, which fuck social media companies wanting my ID to sign up, I'd rather have bots than a damned big-brother style internet chaperone.
You could always require money to make accounts in high spam regions, and even threaten to report spammer card numbers to card providers under the threat of banning the card provider if they refuse to ban renegade customers.
