(16,454 posts)Courts look specifically to strike down vague and overly broad laws. When it comes to an enumerated right, like speech, the compelling governmental interest must be specific and clear and the law narrowly tailored to address that need.
This leads to another interesting discussion - what under the law is personally identifiable info.
I mean, if its name, address, and phone number, then any phone book publisher should get the death penalty or something. But in a serious note, this is already public info and preventing someone from pointing it out is flat out unconstitutional. This law might have a chilling effect on otherwise normal behavior like identifying people in yearbook photos or in old photos taken of public events, which again, is death (strike down) in the courts.
