People didn't suffer either with opt-out internet filters schemes that we saw in some anglo saxon countries, they can just opt-out ! On the other hand, people already suffer because they have kids getting access to porn, etc ... The problem is not always the direct change, but the infrastructure and public mindset change. Add a filter, and now adding things to it is much easier. Germany for better or worse is very much privacy minded, even more so that us neighbors (and compared to the US or asian countries we're very privacy minded). They basically have no google maps coverage because of it, for exemple. So a change in that direction will impact them.

> Germany for better or worse is very much privacy minded Are you kidding me? 6 German police officers were taken out of their job because they have threatened an ethnic Turk, attorney. They have threatened her new born baby by his name while even none of her neighborhoods know the babie's name. And how did they found that the police did it? Apparently few hours ago the police officers have queried her and her babie's name from their database. So, while Germans think that they mind their privacy they have no idea that they live in none private country. Germany is not really different from other European countries in term of privacy. Who cares about your shopping habits? Will someone going to point you a gun for shopping or for not using DNT header in your web browser or for using a credit card? Police have all citizens' addresses, names, phone numbers, relatives. And police have guns to point at citizens and arrest them just because. Can you hide your name and address from German police? No. http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/frankfurt-seda-basay-yildiz-soll-erneut-drohbriefe-erhalten-haben-a-1250623.html http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/frankfurt-seda-basay-y... https://www.hukukihaber.net/dunyadan/turk-avukata-tehditlerin-arkasinda-alman-polisi-mi-var-h378110.html https://www.hukukihaber.net/dunyadan/turk-avukata-tehditleri...
