But if that hardware key is privacy-preserving (i.e. websites don't get your identity when you use it), what prevents you from using it for your illegal activity? Scrapers and spam are built by humans, who could get such a hardware key.

You’d at least be limited to deploying a single verified scraper which might be too slow for people to bother with.

  Not even: the government is supposed to provide you with more than one token (how would you verify yourself as a human to more than one website otherwise?)

    The idea would be a connection requires the key so you could both verify at more than one website and be limited to one instance per website.

      If you use the same token on more than one website, it's not privacy-preserving anymore.
