    That’s because this is such a GOOD and LEGAL measure! They ONLY exempt themselves from the BEST and FAIREST measures!

    But that requires the apps to be able to identify if the user is in the “privileged group” or not so even more tracking now? We definitely have to stop it.

      It doesn’t have to.

      They will just get the Foss version while the law requires wage slaves to get daddy approved version OR else!

    The second parliament wants themselves to be the sole exception from a law they wanna pass, that law should be scrapped.

    That’s great optics.

    Not sure how workable it is to define how you would define “confidential information” without having already viewed the content. But the whole thing isn’t very clever on a technical level anyway. Technically competent people will always find a way around such censorship.

      They obviously look at child porn. If they had nothing to hide, they would volunteer!

      I say it’s time to investigate each politicians phones and computers and then install monitoring software.

      For the children.

      Here in the states, a lot of the Republican party campaigns as Reagan and [George H. W.] Bush conservatives or OG conservatives, and I have to remind them that those conservatives and MAGAs (Christian nationalists, white power) are the exact same thing.

      The policies of Reagan accelerated our path to the precipice of one-party autocracy. What they pushed as policy then figures largely in how we got here, with the last vestiges of US democracy tilting off the precipice into one-party autocracy.

      Old fiscal responsibility / family values Republicans just wished they had another mile or two to plummet and the cold rocks below weren’t looming so close.

      To toss in another metaphor, they didn’t just buy a ticket to ride, they used their railroad shares to vote on where to lay the rails, and where the line ends.

        It may not need to wear a red shirt, nor a blue shirt… If you hear fascism is on the rise and you think “Maga” you are naive.
