TALLINN — In a surprising turn of events, Estonia’s e-government is now offering a new GDPR-compliant option to its citizens—printing all documents on papyrus. This ancient method aims to ensure maximum data privacy by eliminating any chance of hacking.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to simplify personal data management for Estonians, who are famously proud of their paperless society. “Why trust the cloud when you can turn back the hands of time?” said Mart, a local IT specialist. “Plus, it’ll give you that rustic sauna feel while managing your finances. You can’t hack a good old-fashioned scroll!”
Critics believe this move could lead to more bureaucracy, with document storage turning into a weekend pastime of rolling up papyrus scrolls. “But at least we’ll all enjoy the smell of fresh paper and ink!” added Kadri, a very enthusiastic librarian.
”The beauty of papyrus is that data stays secure, right in your hands—or on your living room floor—forever.”
At press time, Selver has announced a new line of papyrus scroll storage solutions, catering to all your ancient document needs.
