> the more important it will become to link any significant requests to real humans

Remember during the resolution of the mortgage fraud / title insurance issue in the US people were coming forward and being videoed in depositions saying 'I was hired at this bank, my job was to sign forms, I had no idea what or why I was signing, I was just told these forms required a human signature, I signed thousands per week.'

Unfortunately it seems the legal system has already baked in a 'yes, a person signed, but they were too stupid to recognise what they were doing wasn't legal because they worked at a big company and assumed it must have been okay.'

I don't really know how you work around that sort of institutional acceptance of what must be some type of fraud.

The 'system' doesn't really when people seem to have decided 'well, if we break enough laws on a large enough scale there's nothing they can really do.'
