<div>Yes and yes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But the way I see it is, when we get elected into parliaments, we also create for ourselves the responsibility to decide what regulations we would like to have instead.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>IF the children must be thought of, HOW can we think of the children without destroying user freedoms and rights? This is really an issue we, as regulators, must address. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And yes, I do believe that when you're running for parliament and aiming to be part of the legislative process, you're a regulator. Regulations aren't bad per se, and in fact the Pirate Parties from all over the world are needed for the purpose of making sure all internet regulation on state and EU level is GOOD. And when one regulation that is good turns out to have loopholes that are bad, we amend the regulation so the loopholes disappear.</div>
