"Eighty percent of respondents did not believe that bloggers should be allowed to publish home addresses and other personal information about private citizens.
A further 72 percent favoured censorship of personal information about celebrities, and 68 percent information about elected or appointed government officials such as judges or mayors."
How could someone legally prevent this from happening? Any property I own, birth records, death records and a whole bunch of other stuff is accessable to the public by request. The county I live in goes one step further and provides a computer in the courthouse lobby so anyone can look up the information on their own. The reality is that if someone really wants the information, there are plenty of ways to get it, celebrity or not.
My other question is, if such a measure became law, who would be responsible for enforcing it? Will there be someone at the CIA reading every blog looking for personal information and contacting the violator for removal?
