Yeah maybe, but that's not what this bill is saying. A political campaign is in no way a legal authority, let alone prevailing.
- aeturnum 4y ago"Political campaign" here is not "anyone who says they are political" - it's the official campaign organizations for candidates who are registered in an election. They're legitimate actors within the electoral system. Officially registered candidates already get a lot of info about voters by law - including telephone numbers and addresses. This seems well in line with that. Edit: I was wrong - this does have a disgustingly wide definition of "political campaign". I do think it would be good to ban spam filters catching official campaign literature, but that's not what is being proposed.
