"One of the most concrete examples is the potential unmasking of anonymous accounts, said Ryan Calo, a law professor at the University of Washington whose work on emerging technologies includes a paper this year examining bot disclosure issues.
A human behind an account accused of being a bot could be forced to reveal his or her identity.
“So while on its face it doesn’t require someone to say who they are, as enforced it has that potential, and it creates a tool to unmask people just by calling them bots,” Calo said."
