This is not unlike the "battle" between GPL and BSD licences (this is Slashdot after all).
The "freedom of speech for all" stance is like BSD. Everyone may do absolutely anything they like, but this will also include the freedom to oppress and to limit the freedom of others.
The "crying fire" stance on the other hand means that you are free to do whatever you like, as long as you don't restrict the freedom of others to do the same. Kind of like GPL isn't it?
TFA says:
"As a privacy safeguard, no single person or agency will be able to access all contents of a file. "
I say:
"Yeah, right!"
Fascinating to see Stasi-tendencies combined with computers.

The Kalahari Bushmen?? Ever since 1989 (except for 8 years), I've always thought that a Bushman was a regular American!
It was also attributed to Baz Luhrmann as the smashing hit single, "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)"!
Measured by his waistline or "achievments"? Praise the Lard!
Indeed. Only a Sith deals in absolutes. *Fzwoooom!*
In Soviet Russia, the subway ... Never mind.
How about a museum glorifying Douglas Adams? Or a towering monument in his honor? Or if all of his fans gave $100 to his family?
I'm sure a toweling monument would be the ultimate tribute.
