If it was the law then the AI itself would be coded to not allow going "undercover", and there would be legal consequences if caught. Torvald's stance only matters for how things 'are' not how they 'could be'.
Would it be a cure all? Of course not. Fraud still happens despite the illegality. But it's better than not being able to trust anything ever again.
Like for driving over the speed limit? Or putting glass in the regular trash instead of the recycling? Yeah, just what I need in my life, another arbitrary law that's enforced 0.0001% of the time as a flex by the people in power to target and abuse people they don't like.
