I can’t think of how you would enforce it either, but I do think there’s value in putting a line in the sand. It makes it clear that yes, this is crossing a line into illegal activity. Will everyone care and stop? No. I do believe some will, though, as a result of this.
Yeah, I see this probably like using tax law to catch a mobster. Maybe they committed other worse crimes, but you don’t have evidence. Maybe you can prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that they paid for reviews or followers or whatever else. It probably won’t stop every instance, but it does give an ability to stop abusers and gives an incentive to not use these tactics, because it could be proven and held against you in the future.
