I propose that all politicians must have cameras installed and streamed 24/7 in any spaces they regularly occupy. This includes offices, private homes, and even bathrooms. These spaces must have enough cameras that there are no blind spots within the rooms. Let's make every politician live in a very literal manifestation of 1984. Don't want to have the whole world watch you take a crap? Don't run for office.

    Merz criticized defenders of online anonymity, saying they are "often people who, from the shadows of anonymity, demand the greatest possible transparency from others."

    Dude is non-comprehending and very offended to hear it
