When sunshine doesn’t always disinfect the government
while openness is indeed key to a functioning democracy, there is a dark
side to sunlight. Deliberation, collaboration and compromise rarely
flourish in front of TV cameras or when monitored by special interests.
Most government staff now operate under the principle of “don’t write that
down” and avoid raising concerns and challenging questions altogether for
fear that they will be publicly revealed to embarrassing effect. Even text
messages are targeted and, given the capability to digitize phone
conversations, there could soon be even less room for private thought and
consideration.
