Need a predictive version of this that tags politicians in tweets expressing my stance on whatever is being debated, right before they use their phones on livestreams.

Re: Automatically tagging politician when they use their phone on the livestreams
#22Fun, but also kind of a dick move to apply bossware to more people; the phone is where the real politics happens.
No, if anything, all that stuff regular people are subjected to, must be now be used against people in power just to let them feel the weight of reality they have created. It is not that dissimilar to how Musk flights were tracked by a bot on Twitter not that long ago. Is it a dick move? Sure, but I am tired of there being two set of rules for those with power and those without it.
In what way has the Belgian parlament participated in bringing about the surveillance ad-industry or the american tech oligarchy?
If anything European politicians have struggled against the surveillance monopolies and enforced more online privacy protection than any other leaders on the planet. You can argue the effort hasn't been sufficiently successful and you're probably right about that.
Re: Automatically tagging politician when they use their phone on the livestreams
#23Fun fact: this is quite likely illegal to do in the EU. If it should or should not be legal is a different question, but my understanding of present day law makes this not permissible.

five eyes had buy in all around in EU.
European council still forces all government to buy exclusively from Microsoft despite a whole documentary and outcry about it. the IT mamager is now even further promoted.

#25I mean if it wasn't the 21st century, they would be having a snooze or reading a newspaper or magazine probably. Having a politican 100% committed and listening all the time would be great, but they would quit in no time I'm sure, at least I would.
"I mean if it wasn't the 21st century, they would be having a snooze or reading a newspaper or magazine probably"
Reading a newspaper in parliament? Have not seen that, it would clearly be seen as a sign of disrespect to the speaker, even more so than a mobile as it has a higher vissibility.
And dazing off was probably more productive and healthy, because I doubt, politicians are immune to addictive engagement feeds. Meaning I don't think most of that smartphone use is actually productive.

#26This is useless, if you don't know what they're doing on their phones. Fact checking the speaker? Playing candy crush? Who knows.

#27this kind of surveillance is childish and a bit creepy too
they do 10x worse on the general population. Politicians, especially the high ranking ones, should have 100% transparent lives and be monitorised by independent organisation at all times, as they work for the benefit of the public
> Politicians, especially the high ranking ones, should have 100% transparent lives
For what purpose? What would you achieve by doing that?

Yup, raise compensation in return, but the price for power should be more transparency. But maybe not 100%.
Even politicians should have the right for a private bedroom and maybe their families as well .. though it is of course of some public interest, with whom the politicians sleep at night.

Would you point out why so?

Interesting, can you expand a bit on what particular laws you think it violates?
