Nah we'll just have to move to better communication systems - something like web of trust. We tap our phones, and from now on I know that anything that claims to be from you is from you. My friends trust that what you claim to have written came from you because they trust me. If you start spouting nonsense, I downgrade your contact information in my list and my friends get the same hint.

The open internet itself, yes, it won't survive the next few years - but then there's no stopping this. We could ban AIs in the west, which is the only place that sort of law might work, but Russia, North Korea, Iran, China - they'll still use it to mess with us.
