Public servants have more responsibilities while on the clock; they’re not just like any other job. They’re representatives of both the state and the public.
Having clips shared online out-of-context with misleading captions is a negative consequence of the current state of media. I think it would fall under misinformation, or even libel or harassment, depending on severity; but good luck chasing down all the reposts.
Reducing transparency to fix this one specific problem isn’t a good solution. I don’t know what the good solution actually is, though.
Completely agree, I love the transparency we have and its levels above other modern democracies coughUScough but feel we owe these people a bit of respect. Often the policy decisions come from government and their job is to implement, regardless of their personal opinions on the matter
