Georgia Tries To Outlaw High Tech Peeping Toms
from the too-broad-or-much-needed? dept
The state of Georgia has realized that the technology used by "peeping toms" has advanced quite a bit in recent years, and are trying to upgrade their laws to deal with that fact. What's a little unclear is if they're criminalizing technology - or the use of that technology. Isn't it better, generally, to criminalize the result rather than the actual tools being used?Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
