I still like the EU, but this type of "one rule of me, one rule for thee" is awful and will destroy confidence in the institutions.
Also, check out the government activity exclusion in the GDPR.
- mcv 8y agoThat is a very serious shortcoming. Government whistleblowers need protection too. Governments have shown time and time again that they are very capable of breaking the law too. They should not be above accountability.
- growlist 8y agoI was actually kind of joking in my earlier post but never suspected the EU would specifically exempt themselves from it. Words fail me.
