I guess I should clarify, by no means did I want to offend german software engineering. Ofcourse there are great products made from german software company or any companies (cars duh.) Further that, I understand your point but I do not believe it is an issue in new companies. Yes Deutsche telekom might have such issue, but if you dont use Slack you can use HipChat you can use Microsoft Teams, you can use Google hangouts chat. All with different policies, data centers etc. Hell you can even roll your own with open source projects. There is always a way out and hiding behind the law for not adapting is bad for them. BTW I believe DAX companies are more sensitive in terms of data than most companies, lets say soundcloud.
