The chat control proposal does not belong in democratic societies
Suggested alternative: The "End Political Corruption Proposal"<p>"Given that political corruption is rife in European countries, with great detriments to the healthy function of government, all politicians in positions where they may be engaging in corrupt behavior must submit to 24-7 audio and video surveillance, which will be piped over public platforms for crowdsourcing of corruption detection.  All personal communications of politicians and of government bureaucrats will become matters of public record for the same reason.  Since we cannot trust a corrupt head of government to investigate their own corruption, or one of their underlings, this kind of public exposure of all politicians and bureaucrats is the only reasonable, rational solution to the problem of endemic government corruption in the EU."
