[Bigbang-dev] Today's meeting

[Niels ten Oever]

Adding to this discussion:

What if an important policy maker puts the flag 'do-not-process' in an email header but we would have legitimate interests, because they are a policymaker/politician, to process it? This might create more confusion that it solves?

He was initially skeptical about changing email but I think I convinced him an optional header might be doable and part of a solution.

But it might be that the possibility of attributing email, linking it to other identifiers, is an important issue.
