That's where value drift comes into this. The "copies of you are also you" meme seems like it would break easily, especially to psychopath who goes around murdering people for funzies. Once the "copies" meme is broken moping up at least a section of the network becomes more doable. With sophisticated weaponized memetics of THS, spreading "anti-copies of you" memes around is probably a key part of xox-hunting campaigns.

The TSA isn't a rogue state like the Trojan Mafia. They still get invited to the international conventions and there's apparently enough trade between the rest of the world and the TSA to make Singapore relevant. When the Pacific War happened, the rest of the world decided to stay out of it, instead of jumping on a rogue state that allows all kinds of hooliganism.

And at the same time, legal and similar content could be produced using bioroids. Legal channels will have advantages over the dubious illegal channels where you might get transformed into a killing machine by rogue AI.

Yeah, there is. The important difference is that Omakage lives and operates in asteroid belt, a mostly ungoverned region, and KillerAI appears to be intended to operate on Earth.

And with the mobility of a digital mind in THS, it could be very hard to chase down every bit of a malicious intelligence.
Sure, it's probably something that the THS FBI and analogues spend a great deal of time worrying about. On the other hand:
-> None of this is cheap.
-> Constructed AI have guard rails that give them GURPS Honest, which would be pretty hard to make a serial killer out of.
-> THS as a whole is such a psychiatric society most people don't have mental disadvantages anymore

Anything like this has to be rather deliberately created (putting it into the realm of terrorism) or a ridiculous fluke (it's hard to imagine anyone could get enough resources together while having an untreated diseased mind).
