Some background.The technology now exists to video a street analyze faces in
"real time" and id everybody.In some countries it was decided to outlaw
this.So there you need somebodies consent before recording him or her or
their belongings.
To call these laws fascistic just shows ignorance.
Worse even one could argue the opposite
that countries that dont have these laws,
usually the same which are not prevented by law to screen their citizens
mail be it electronic or conventional,
do not allow a free press anymore in war zones and even have a policy of
active disinformation are
at best operating under some sort of martial law.
sorry for the ot
simon
