Comment Re:Protected under the First Amendment? (Score 2) 890
Whilst this example is crass and boorish, in the USA, shouldn't you be able to name your Wi-Fi SSID anything you want and it be protected (as free speech) under the First Amendment ??
Are you just now realizing that some of our first amendment rights have eroded in the US?
First amendment hasn't meant "You can say whatever you want no matter what" for a long time. Do you think it would be OK for me to write "Death to all " on the side of my house, and expect not to have legal problems? How about painting "I am planning to kill Obama" on the side of your car and driving around? Expect to have problems? What about walking around with a sign that said "Ask me for instructions on manufacturing bio-terror weapons"?
Is setting your WiFi SSID to something considered "illegal speech" different than painting it on the side of your house?
