It should be a law everywhere that lawmakers can't be exempt from laws they pass on everyone else.

[โ€“] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 1 points 4 months ago

What about laws that just concerns them ?

Because saying no to every law reducing their revenues seems to also be frequently blocked...

Who the hell gets to decide their own salary beside some lawmakers?

And one detail here is that mainstream media don't report on this. They do as if it didn't happen.

We should call it by what it really is: a power grab by the ruling class, upsetting the checks and balances that were achieved through decades and decades of struggle.

I am so incredibly surprised by this.....

Who am I kidding it was clear from the start they were going to do this. It just further proves that:

  • they know this shit erodes any semblance of private digital communications down to the bedrock
  • this thing being for "the protection of children" is just a front for them to lie it into effect

At this point I cannot take any politician seriously who would vote "yes" to this surveilance law given the blatant malicious intent behind it.
