WHEREAS, it is vitally important that our citizens are able to give informed consent as to how their e-mail address is to be used, and
WHEREAS, the present arrangement is based off the idea of tacit and passive, not informed consent, and
WHEREAS, informed consent is better because that way people know what they’re agreeing to, and
WHEREAS, details such as one’s e-mail address are actually quite important, and
WHEREAS, if you asked most people if they’d be happy to share their e-mail address with anyone if they stump up a small fee, they’d probably say that was a little dodgy, and
WHEREAS, this bill ONLY stops party leaders from seeing a citizen's e-mail address without their consent, not the Chancery, now
THEREFORE, be it enacted by the Ziu that Lex.D.8.5, which currently reads
- 8.5. Information Available to Political Party Leaders
- 8.5.1. An Electorate Database shall be made available to political party leaders.
- 8.5.2. The Database shall only be accessible by leaders of parties which have been fully registered with the Chancery and provincial officers, provided the conditions in D.10.5 are met.
- 8.5.3. The Database shall contain the following information on each of the Kingdom's Citizens only: Name, Province, E-Mail address.
- 8.5.4. Measures shall be taken to ensure that the database is kept non-public and can only be viewed by the audience intended.
