Germany has a pretty good legislation track record, so you can safely assume that technical and financial experts have reviewed that law. It just so happened that Apple was not given an opportunity to lobby for their monopoly on iPhone.
- w-m 7y agoThere has also been terrible legislation in Germany though, that had to be revoked in lengthy process by the courts, take the Vorratsdatenspeicherung(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_retention#Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_retention#Germany): "The law became valid on 1 January 2008. Any communications data had to be retained for six months. On 2 March 2010, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany ruled the law unconstitutional as a violation of the guarantee of the secrecy of correspondence.[41] On 16 October 2015, a second law for shorter, up to 10 weeks long, data retention excluding email communication was passed by parliament.[42][43][44] However, this act was ruled incompatible with German and European laws by an injunction of the Higher Administrative Court of North Rhine-Westphalia." Or the planned road toll that is incompatible with EU law: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48674703 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48674703
