Privacy

I feel the American people respect their privacy vaguely.
While I was watching the TV news, I noticed one different point from the Japanese TV news. In the American TV news, everybody shows their name on the caption. Off course the anchor persons and the reporters should show their name. They are kinds of public people.
I mean, I found the name of people who was a normal citizen and who was interviewed by the reporters. For example, today a traffic accident between a truck and a skateboarder happened in San Diego. The TV reporter interviewed some police officers and other young skateboarders. While a young skateboarder was speaking to the TV reporter, his name "XXXX XXXX / skateboarder" was shown on the TV caption.
I don't want my face and my name were broadcasted on the TV. Everybody whom I don't know can know me from TV. I don't want that. The Japanese TV news does not show any personal name in that case. While the interview, there is no caption, or just "a skateboarder" or just "a friend of victim" on the caption.

And now I have another question. Did that skateboarder tell his real name? If you happen to be interviewed by a TV reporter, you can tell your false name. To make a false comment is not good. But it is not so serious to tell the false name. You can protect your privacy.
I remember the news about internet registration. Congress discusses 'Fraudulent Online Identity Sanctions Act.' I don't know this act is good or not. But it is obvious why they try to make this act. Many people use false personal information to register online.
