It should be. Times have changed, and now it is possible to impersonate someone "perfectly". This has a negative impact on both the one being impersonated and the people that are being lied to. It is a form of fraud. The requirement to connect this to actual damages is an exercise. An exercise lawyers have convinced a population of scared, ignorant people, demands $300/hr to complete. Let me put it simply: you cannot speak as me, and if you do, you're wrong and should be punished.
Now, maybe it's not the law, but it damn well should be. It seems common sense to me. If you cannot imagine the consequences of allowing an employer to impersonate you (especially in the age of AI), then I will say you lack imagination.

- javajosh 4y agoWell, this law would be pretty bipartisan, I would think. Who likes it when their employer counter-party does these things? No-one. And as long as worker voters outnumber employers, workers can pass laws eliminating these degrees of freedom from an employer's tool-chest.
