Via Gizmodo, comes a report that Korea legislators are considering requiring camerphones to make noise when they take a picture:
Huh Un-na, a ruling Millennium Democratic Party member on the Assembly's Science, Technology, Information and Telecommunications committee said that the party plans to submit a bill mandating that cameraphones be designed to emit a loud noise when photos are taken. The noise would alert people in public that their picture might have been taken.
Gizmodo says that this won't work because there are other cameras people can take secret pictures with that don't make noise. Korean manufacturers say that the restrictions will bring ruin down upon their heads.
I say, think before you take pictures and blast them all over the Internet.
