With the Chat Control bill entering its final stage, the EU Council has been busy thinking about what a new data retention framework could look like.
Oh, cool. So now we get full transparency which MEP talks and communicates with whom, which websites they visited while using their private and official devices. That should allow us to build an automatic lobby register. And thanks to chat control, we can even get automated summaries of all those talks and what they did? Right? Right?
Rules for thee but not for me. The public wouldn’t have access to the data. “They cant be trusted”
