I can see a valid use for a version of chat control where the communications of all elected officials are retained forever and audited on a regular basis for doing anything illegal, proposing anything illegal, actions not in the public interest, cronyism etc. All data should be released when they die, 10 years after they leave office or upon conviction of a crime related to political appointment.
- boxed 1y agoWelcome to Sweden. Public on day one.
- _zoltan_ 1y agocan you elaborate? this is news to me.
- diggan 1y agoGuess this serves as a good introduction: https://www.government.se/the-government-offices/the-government-offices-communication-activities/ https://www.government.se/the-government-offices/the-governm... > All communication in the Government Offices is based on the core values of transparency, factualness and comprehensibility, relevance and topicality. Public access and oversight shall characterise all activities. > The Government Offices' communication policy covers both internal and external communication. Sweden is generally pretty good at transparency, both regarding representatives and everyone else. For example, given a full name, you can get a person's address, telephone number, what cars and businesses they own, and even what their salary is, for better and worse :)
- wkat4242 1y agoOh that's pretty much in the worse book for me brrr
- tmikaeld 1y agoIt really is the criminals paradise, thus the record amount of shootings and rapes.
- boxed 1y agoRecord amounts of shootings... for the nordics. Compared to the US it's a rounding error. Anyway, that has to do with integration issues, not public data so you guys are way off topic.
- boxed 1y agoAnd yet it has worked extremely well for us since 1766(!).
- wkat4242 1y agoI just couldn't live in such a public society. Or such a restrictive one.
- boxed 1y ago> I just couldn't live in such a public society. It's a non-issue though. Americans seem super paranoid about this stuff, and yet when everything is public nothing bad happens. > Or such a restrictive one. err?

- ciupicri 1y agoLike the messages exchanged between EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla?
- vixen99 1y agoHow is it she's still in a job?
- holowoodman 1y agoPlain old backroom deals. Same way she got the job. The EU isn't a democracy, it is actually governed by backroom deals between member states' governments.
- grim_io 1y agoI'll take my good old backroom deals EU over the shitcoin peddling US officials any day of the week.
- HPsquared 1y agoFor everything else, there's Monarchy.
- 46891283682 1y agoEU propaganda really pays for itself if people still fall for this false dichotomy.
- isolli 1y agoIndeed, politicians should not be controlling us; we should be controlling them.
- WinstonSmith84 1y agoFor what it's worth, politicians are excluded from this law (it's not a joke)
- close04 1y agoLogically it follows that anyone who "has something to hide" will seek the safe harbor of a political position. How many election cycles until all politicians are terrorists and pedophiles?
- fbhabbed 1y agoThis alone should have made the law incoherent and impossible to pass
- LeifCarrotson 1y agoNot impossible for politicians!
- potato3732842 1y agoTo who? The politicians who will vote on it?
- NaomiLehman 1y agoShould be taken to higher courts
- prox 1y ago
- theoreticalmal 1y agoHow do you propose a law that’s illegal?
