Whether you actual believe the messages going “missing” was an accident or not, this COVID inquiry has shown that there needs to be a proper review of how our MPs communicate.
I don’t have a solution but we need a better solution than an app owned by Meta where messages can just disappear.
It should be made a criminal offence to deliberately destroy government records. There needs to be an emphasis that they need to take active steps to protect those records. this lot are taking the piss.
If I communicate about work on WhatsApp, instead of one of our official channels. I end up going through disciplinary actions. This is basically how it works in ANY workplace, because you shouldn’t be discussing critical work stuff on a platform the workplace cannot fucking control!
I have no idea how MP’s get away with this, at all. I would be shocked if any work discussion on a public network (encryption or not) didn’t fall foul of some computer misuse rules in parliament.
