The only way I would find this acceptable was if the government applied this to themselves. I want to be able to hear all their conversations, to know where they are, who they meet and talk to, who pays them money, how many bank accounts and properties they own. I'd like that accepting a job as a politician involved full transparency. If they were an example themselves then it might be easier to convince people about approving a law like this one.
- tjoff 15y agoPersonally I don't see how I could give up my privacy just because some/all politician(s) would. A lot of people don't even mind the absence of privacy, the key point is that that is a decision they can make for themselves. Even if everybody would gladly give away everything on facebook the moment you force them to do so you cross the line.
- pasbesoin 15y agoAs a rhetorical device, I agree. I've summed it up in the past as, "You first." I'd even be willing to argue it with respect simply to communication performed as part of their work. More and more "governance" seems to be too sensitive to allow people being governed to be aware of it.
