MODERATORS
Why are they talking about this as if it's a strange thing to happen and disruptive? I've seen lots of websites about a political issue that help people send emails to their representatives, isn't that just a normal part of democracy?
Government officials: right clicks email and sets up a filter to automatically move them to a separate folder, or just delete them
Normal part of democracy sighted GUNSHOTS
the same reason they say the bill is (objective) to fight CSAM and privacy activists say (subjective) it will break encryption and lead to mass surveillance
the owners of politico want the bill to pass
now that you say it like that, i think it is really like that, they always portray the privacy and cybersecurty people as just having an opinion on this..
It is normal, and also irrelevant. Representatives don't read their (public) E-Mails.
