Relevant context for this commit:

• This minister has been criticized during the corona crisis for promoting privacy-violating technology without knowing what he was talking about.

• He just won the party candidate election for his political party.

• Dutch general election is coming up in March 2020.

No he didn't.

I don’t know anything about Dutch politics and it might not have been himself creating this commit but I like seeing this kind of communication in a government open source project. Usually they get the spotlight only when they tragically fails.

He didn’t? The commit message is awkward enough that I can believe it is a first time commit.

Few clicks of the pencil tool and yeah, not sure what's unbelievable here
