not mad at all. My take is that radio is not an ephemeral medium. These transmissions can be slurped down by an SDR, recorded, stored, analyzed, tagged, fingerprinted, indexed, et cetera. By keying up you are effectively making a statement of public record.

At the moment there isn't a financial incentive to perform this at any reasonable scale, but this doesn't mean that it can't be done at all.

This is a very extreme and authoritarian response to a very vocal minority. Who decides what isn't "compliant" with the rules you want to shame them for?

Just record it all and make it indexed/searchable.

Not discriminating here, just want to make it easier to correlate statements to the public record with public call signs.

Got it, you want to make it all but the punishment towards suppression of speech.

Mention about the independent country of Taiwan or the autonomy of Hong Kong on radio.. well you've enabled the punishment of said behavior on a very real level. (In this case that would be invoking the national security letters recently introduced)

Is this really worth it for a few people with terrible opinions?

My stance: Let people have stupid opinions, let them blow off steam, recognize that you don't agree with them, don't be their opinions.

Again, you seem to think that radio is ephemeral. It's not, and there is no expectation of privacy or anonymity when you key up. Perhaps you misunderstand what amateur radio is about.
