    Find the politicians by name who voted yes for this, and display them in public.

    Let the capable open source community then take over going through their phones, since they must be OK with their phones being scanned, right?

      At least some of them were discussion giving themselves an exception from it. So no.

      First of all it was in the council, so not really individual politicians but the governments/ministers of member countries, and second they didn’t vote, it was withdrawn.

        We got lucky this time. Won’t be the case next time.

        Also, even if it’s entire governments voting, there must be a way to find politicians who are pro and against this, yes? Pretty sure governments had an internal vote and they came up with their decision based on said vote

          I’d assume people already know who their government is and who of them favours policies like this.
