As an MP in Luxembourg I asked the gov’ for confirmation and they confirmed that they were at the origin of the request. Currently I’m waiting on more details as to how many requests our tiny nation made to different messenger services abroad.

I have often thought that Luxembourg is a wonderful country -- I sang for the Grand Duke on a choir tour as a student and was bowled over by how much history, excellent food and fantastic wine there was in a small, civilised place (where you can get entry to every tourist attraction in the country for €50!)

The fact that a Luxembourgish MP is on Hacker News commenting intelligently on a topic in a way that I would frankly do myself just makes me want to emigrate.

Thank you! If you ever find the way back to Luxembourg you can easily reach out and I’ll invite you for a private tour of our Parliament.

I’m a hacker at heart so it’s my pleasure to lurk here and comment on an issue I’m actually involved in.

Is the response to the question supposed to be recorded publicly at https://chd.lu/wps/portal/public/Accueil/TravailALaChambre/R... as well?
Yes that is the written question for more details. They have 1 month to reply and the answer will be public as well.

The initial confirmation was an oral one during a committee meeting. They also confirmed it to the press. (Cf luxtimes.lu behind a paywall)

That's awesome! Thank you.
You’re welcome.
