We already have long-established legal precedent for dealing with such issues and much more. It can actually get quite complicated - which is why we defer to the experts and move slowly on such subjects.

We really don't in reality. The manner in which even the existing laws are enforced leaves a lot to be desired.

It really seems like it's only complicated because there are an awful lot of people who want to do as evil things as possible and not go to prison for it

Loopholes and lawfare are the tools of the corrupt

You'd think so, but no. Most of the complications come from handling edge cases where the innocent would get swept up, while avoiding exploitability. Making laws that actually do what we want is HARD.

Laws are like code: It only seems perfect until it meets the real world. And the complications only seem frivolous until it's your ass on the line.
