The law must apply to all, including public servants. As they are beholden to the public, they are subject to review and FOIA requests are automatically granted for the content.

Now I'm suddenly not so against this law. Journalists paradise. They'll have a field day!

It would just result in them having official and unofficial devices, where all the things they don't want linked to their person, political party or public knowledge is on a different device that isn't going to get caught in the FOIA requests.
