That is a nice wish but the german government is not as concerned with it's peoples privacy as you may think when you read stuff like this. The opposite is true. Germany sells it's people to everyone (including foreign spies who get offices directly at the backbone of the internet). We don't have much time left to educate people what computers are and how to keep your thoughts for yourself. All this fear and suspicion against other nations like china but when they are "1984" germany is just the "a brave new world" version of the same coin. The laws are changing since years and after german spies and police got more slack, organizations want to connect their data und use video surveillance with face detection. That is just the beginning of something that started with the new generation of kids using "the internet" and smartphones without knowing what a computer is or why it could be bad some day if a regime knows about everything you think. They will win because the mainstream doesn't care anymore about privacy if things are convenient enough. If tools / services just want your data as payment at least 2/3 of the people in germany are ready to sell everything so they just don't have to pay money or use open source software with crappy UIs. Also poverty is rising and education has some blind spots (like everything that is related to computers). If I knew that earlier I'd have become a hacker instead of doing the shit jobs I do/did. Probably then retirement with 63 like in the "good old days" would've been possible :-D
