Politicians carved themselves out of chat control because they know exactly how dangerous mass surveillance is.
If they truly believed scanning everyone's messages was safe and necessary, they'd include their own communications too. Instead: surveillance for citizens, privacy for politicians and police.
They understand the risks well enough to protect themselves. They just think you deserve less protection than they do.
When lawmakers exempt themselves from their own surveillance laws, they're confessing those laws are harmful.
