    The site lets visitors compile a mass email warning about the bill and send it to national government officials, members of the European Parliament and others with ease

    Why are they talking about this as if it’s a strange thing to happen and disruptive? I’ve seen lots of websites about a political issue that help people send emails to their representatives, isn’t that just a normal part of democracy?

        now that you say it like that, i think it is really like that, they always portray the privacy and cybersecurty people as just having an opinion on this…
