The people do not seem to want to live in a free and open society.
Yeah. That makes me very sad. :-(
Most people can't understand how easy is for the government to access the pictures they post on facebook.
This does not mean they don't care.
By analogy: I walk down a public street freely and you can take my picture freely, and follow me, and make notes about my whereabouts. You're under no obligation to notify me that you're collecting that information about me, since I'm moving in public.
Not that I'm arguing in favor of this government power. I'm just saying that I think the heart of the matter is that we feel that some aspects of society should not be free and open. There should be a significant legal burden on the gathering of certain information.
I've often considered that if I were in a position to receive one of these, that I'd turn around and publish it on the web immediately after receiving it, and just accept the consequences. If that day ever comes, I hope I have the courage to go through with it.
