- justapassenger 1y agoSource on that?
- bapak 1y agoFrom TFA > the proposed legislation includes exemptions for government accounts used for “national security purposes, maintaining law and order or military purposes”. Convenient.
- kevincox 1y agoI can buy the military exemption, and maybe some very top level government workers that are effectively military (example: POTUS). But the EU parliament has no reason to be excluded. It is definitely a terrible law if it is so bad that they won't pass it unless they are excluded.
- Vinnl 1y agoInterestingly Parliament is against Chat Control: https://edri.org/our-work/chat-control-what-is-actually-going-on/ https://edri.org/our-work/chat-control-what-is-actually-goin...
- pests 1y ago> top level government workers that are effectively military (example: POTUS) POTUS is very specifically NOT a member of the military. Elected civilian control was the whole point. Even Eisenhower had to (temporarily) give up his general rank to serve as president. I do understand your core point tho.
- 11mariom 1y ago> I can buy the military exemption While I understand it… there is no need for any exemption if the bad, stupid law will not be in place at all ;)
