The prostitutes pushing for this do not deserve words. They deserve ridicule, public humiliation, and worse. The computer is a tool. Whoever would encumber it is an obvious shill for the corporations (google/apple/microsoft) who would like to attach an identity (i.e. tolls and controls) to actions prior generations could do freely and without surcharge. It is a modern-day enclosure movement. Its proponents should be juicily spat upon.

Is this the free speech we are trying to protect?

I do not think the proposal is smart or that will it work, but I am more worried that some people seem to think they hold the absolute truth (on any side of the a debate).

This is not a “free speech” issue. This is an assault upon the citizenry. This is the rich and the powerful trying to put everyone’s ass on the plantation. Some want it to extract wealth from you (thievery). Others want it to control you (slavery). They are begging for the guillotines.
