I haven't gone in detail on the draft, but what is nuts is that those are exempt, as well as everyone who uses a service not-for-profit.

So, if you self-host [1], you don't need to adhere to the legislation.

But, wait… Are you telling me that security officials are allowed to use not their self-hosted infrastructure, but use public one to send (I assume, based on their exemption) confidential data?

And, as @WA proposed, will be a list of contacts of these officials given to all for-profit organisations?

What a stupid joke it is!
