ACLU Stomping Free Speech?
The ACLU is trying to get you to panic about free speech. Attacking the government and corporations is fine, but once every single individual in the country becomes a pantechnicon-toting pal recording everything in their personal experience willing to share observations with anyone else, it’s going to be impossible to prevent the pizza scenario from manifesting.
As it stands, the scenario presented in the ACLU scare video happens already. Someone sees you buying something at the drugstore, who mentions it to someone else, who mentions it to someone else. The only remedy is to outlaw gossip, or even outlaw people from communicating anything they see.
Or maybe the ACLU is upset about the proliferation of technology. Gossiping about stuff you saw with your own eyes is OK, but not things that you snapped with your digital camera. So where do you draw the line? Maybe we should outlaw gossip from people who were wearing glasses at the time of the incident in question, since eye glasses are artificial technological enhancement. Or maybe the crucial distinction is in method of communication: voice or writing is OK, but not photograph. Maybe drawings should be illegal if done in anything other than watercolor.
