I have no idea. Numerous people on Free Republic point out the dangers of this sort of thing everytime a story is posted. The problem is that there is an equal number who thinks it's all OK, because you have nothing to fear if you've done nothing wrong.
And that's on a conservative discussion forum. Imagine how bad it is elsewhere. It's frightening.
Something like this would probably get a cooler reception on DU than FR, sad to say.
