Perhaps not. Private communication is more central to our national values than customized money. That's why only one of those two things is protected by the constitution. That being said, I don't think they'd really get far with such a rule, since any prosecution based on it would be easily challenged on constitutional grounds. So we will probably never find out what in fact I would say about it.
Privacy has never been more important to the aggregate HN commenter than it is today. Moreover, nothing I said enjoins people from making political statements or protests.
