PGP signature you mean... anyway, that won't work because someone could
just reset the recorder's clock and sign the false video, or break into

Yet from what you've said above, your society would only allow you freedom
of thought because you'd lose any freedom to act in an unapproved manner.
I'd hardly call that "totally free".
