Unfortunately it isn't just a thought experiment.

Of course, when it comes to official signs. But this seems to be intended to be stuck up next to 'no photography' signs to counteract them. I kind of want one of those shirts.
You'll be surprised how close this is to reality in Russia.
The implicit message here is that anywhere that this sign does not exist, photography is not allowed. That's a bad precedent to set.
Imagine walking around and seeing "Free Speech Permitted in this Area" signs.
