@webmink @maemst the problem will be "third-party rights or security concerns" which is basically applicable in nearly all cases. that's the usual reason for denying FOIA requests, that's why you have trouble to see your *full* medical files, that's why you can't repair your car, get the phone number of a certain clerk at a gov office, that's why you can't trace decision making over your application at authorities.

might be a step forward but the implementation of the law will decide if it's actually a step or a joke.

@Pentropy @webmink I really think they're executing the law seriously from what I can say after half a year. Some more background information was presented at FOSDEM 2024: fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event

@maemst
My instinct is it removes barriers for those who want to create interoperable solutions collaboratively, rather than forcing those who want to enrich foreign corporations not to do so. Mandates have not been very successful anywhere; enabling acts sound much more useful as long as the will is there.
