Perpetual Consent Requirement Eliminates Public Domain Defense
Section 47.3 states it is "immaterial" whether information was already publicly known or resulted from the subject's own conduct—meaning even republishing already-public information violates the law without ongoing consent that can be revoked at any time. This eliminates the standard "public domain" defense found in democratic jurisdictions and creates severe restrictions on journalism, commentary, and public discourse. Combined with 48's prohibition on using private facts in satire, parody, or entertainment, this framework prevents legitimate discussion of public figures and matters of public interest using information that is already widely known.
