not a really big fan of regulation myself. is it the government's

responsibility to protect every individual from the immoral and unscrupulous acts of their neighbor?

or does the individual need to take responsibility for his own protection when trapsing around the public spaces?

we don't put big yellow stars on people to protect others from their predisposition to lie and cheat.

we do put locating beacons on certain persons with a predisposition to violent actions.

maybe it's enough that hp has been identified as a dishonest and disreputable firm that cannot be trusted to not invade the privacy of others when they think someone somewhere is guilty.

maybe the public stigma is enough if the public is educated as to how to deal with those kinds of actions. (like women being taught how to discourage attackers)

official public stigma.
that's the ticket.
yeah.
