> Because first they'll come for the contractless?
No, but census data were extremely useful in organizing the holocaust.
> Why is it some people are incapable of discussing Germany without tiresomely invoking the Nazis?
Because in these cases that's how the political discussion in Germany in the 1980s/2000s went when the above-mentioned measures were discussed. It's simply the benchmark our governments are judged by. The Nazis are not some boogeymen that you use whenever you need a politically correct movie villain, they were the democratically elected government of a first world nation, and should be treated as such.
More generally: Governments should not operate as efficiently as possible. They should be easy to keep in check by the population.
- hartpuff 11y agoThis is not about collecting census data, is it? So, sticking to what it is about, if you think your invoking of the Nazis and the Holocaust was even remotely appropriate in this thread, explain how banning anonymous SIM cards aids a future genocide.
- creshal 11y agoBanning anonymity in any form infringes on your right of expression, as it results in the panopticon effect. The BVerfG put it far more eloquently than I could: https://web.archive.org/web/20101116085553/http://zensus2011.de/fileadmin/material/pdf/gesetze/volkszaehlungsurteil_1983.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20101116085553/http://zensus2011...
- hartpuff 11y agoGreat. Now explain how banning anonymous SIM cards causes genocide.
