@mattklewis Should the ban apply to Mohammed Atta? Osama bin Laden? Suppose a killer is on the loose? No pics to warn public? #slipperyslope

@brithume Media organized would first obtain permission from gov't agency overseeing the ban. -
@mattklewis Suppose the killer is a prominent public official & gov't tries to hide the name? Or a member of family w/political connections? -
@brithume There is always a potential, hypothetical down side. But the vast majority of us will be better off under my plan. -
@mattklewis It is government control of what media can report, which is censorship by definition. Almost certainly unconstitutional. -
@brithume@mattklewis Seriously Matt? You you prefer U.S. government suppressing information about reality to gun control? -
@thegarance@brithume Who's talking about gun control? -
@mattklewis@brithume I don't understand why you want to have the government regulate the free flow of information.

@mattklewis So you want to ban media outlets from publishing the names of killers? Would this apply to all crimes? Also, are you serious? -
@GarrettQuinn Should be hashed out on Congress. (Also, ban interviewing kids and institute a "wait period" on news.) -
@mattklewis How realistic is this when we live in a world where the definition of a journalist is changing everyday? This is unrealistic.
