When I was a kid, my cousin and I used to stand at my bedroom window with notebooks, and record details of every pedestrian and car that drove by. Should it be illegal to do the same with my PC? Or should there only be restrictions placed on the use of that data? I'm pretty comfortable with restrictions on the use of the data, but I don't know where I stand on the collection.
Technology is evolving faster than most of the populace is able to understand, much less find the time for any kind of discussion. This is a primary example of such an issue. I can honestly tell you that I don't know exactly where I stand on the collection either, and I couldn't tell you the details I'd like to see implemented for controlling the data distribution. What I know, without question, is that the total lack of attention, understanding, and regulation on the subject currently is not optimal.
