Maybe they won't be able to stop you, but the average Joe won't be able to cover his tracks as effectively, or most likely, Claude Code and others will by default be required to assert the browser for the current session is being operated by an agent.

Average Joe will cover his tracks just as effectively. An average Joe will use the Claude Desktop app which opens a built-in browser where agent does the clicking - difficult to distinguish from a human doing the clicking.
