The Dutch government had claimed that electronic messages were not subject to such requests, but the Midden-Nederland court disagreed, writes Binnenlands Bestuur. The court found that SMS and WhatsApp messages on a business phone can fall under the definition of a “written piece or other material containing information” in the law on public administration (Wet Openbaarheid van Bestuur – WOB). The storage means is not relevant when it comes to determining whether a public administration document can be made public. Culled: telecompaper.com]]>
