California Cybercafe Regulation Decision Released
The Importance of writes "The California Court of Appeals decided an important cybercafe regulation case last week. Read the decision [PDF]. The court decided that cybercafes are deserving of First Amendment protection. and that the zoning regulations used to regulate them in the City of Garden Grove were unconstitutional. However, in a terrible privacy decision, the court said video monitoring of the computers and patrons was a-ok. Read more on the decision here and here."

Just the other day I was pumping gas, and there were cameras watching me! The nerve! Where's my right to privacy while pumping gas?? I went in to pay, more cameras!! I went to the bank, and I couldn't believe it. Cameras everywhere in there! Beware all! Big Bro is watching you!

Of course, you may have problems using it to guarantee your privacy in a cyber cafe.
