If it is on their own private property and the effect does not work outside their property then fine. They can already ban people under a certain age from coming into the shop, for example.
But using technology to stop people meeting up in a public place? Step too far. I can see it now - "Big Brother is deafening you."
Maybe we should support mass poisonings and get rid of all the people we don't like in society. If we don't stop this sort of thing now it will get worse.
