A lot of the push for these things come from fraud, and a lot of fraud comes from badly designed payment systems that allow more fraud in exchange for connivence. How could we reduce this fraud cost by designing a payment system that isn’t so fraud prone and reducing the economic incentive for these things to exist?

That's not where the push comes from, it's a pretense. They could just as easy want to force your machine to attest that there's no known child pornography on it. Or even that there's not any text or images that could be seen as information about birth control.

How about attesting that an LLM-controlled state-issued daemon is always running on your box, and monitoring everything you do for suspicious activity?
