I just love having internet laws written by people who can't use a computer without help. Makes so much sense...

  Do you actually know any MEP? The younger generations are less stupid than you might think. Politics is a slow game, the people who grew up with Windows 95 are only now starting to get elected.

    In the current legislature, there is one former software programmer MEP and a Linus's uncle, who is not a programmer but knows a bit about software. There's also Julia Reda, but she is really just a filesharer and a politician.

      Small correction: Finnish MEP Nils Torvalds is actually Linus’s dad.

      I know Elly Schlein is switched on, although she works mostly on non-IT topics. I'm sure there are many others.

  Is something wrong with the data protections laws that apply to medical data? Those could be expanded for all private data.

  Like a 35 year old with a degree in information and communications technology law? Seems like he might possibly have encountered a computer or two given his special interests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Philipp_Albrecht https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Philipp_Albrecht As well as GDPR, which is one of the better IT related laws, he has sensible views on mass surveillance.
