I'm not understanding how limiting data collection is draconian regulation.

Recording in public is a huge problem overall and is slowly decaying our society. People don't do anything anymore because nothing is sacred. Have you been to a club lately? It's just a room of 500 people standing there.

It gets worse the younger and younger the people are. Kids these days are too petrified to leave their homes. Every aspect of their person is under constant scrutiny.
