That's fair. It's definitely a tradeoff. I guess I'm sensitive to it because I strongly value freedom of speech and the right to privacy, and generally like governments having as little power as possible (to lower instances of abuse). I realize that you have to draw a line somewhere, though, and I don't have enough data to make any judgement on whether something like this is necessary. But in any case, I certainly hope it isn't!
