It just goes against the whole cyberpunk future we grow up dreaming about. Against the A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace and all that. I think in the end the bureaucrats won't win though. It just slows down the inevitable.
As always it'll probably start with porn. There will be porn of everyone and it'll be shared. Then that will become normalized. Then it'll spread into other more socially acceptable areas. Maybe first under the guise of "parody" and then it'll just become normal. Just how streaming and pirating has made music sales irrelevant. Now musicians make money with concerts.. and somehow the famous ones are still filthy rich. Didn't seem to hurt them one bit.
I'm sure the Tom Cruises of the future can still go to conventions and give speeches at private events.
So the world you want to live in is a Neuromancer dystopia, check.

Yeah, because that's not at all what the "AI" tech bros you want to protect are, right?
