The current title ("Germany requests WhatsApp, Gmail etc. to hand over passwords in plaintext to DOJ") makes it sound like this law already passed, which is not the case according to the article.
- chupa-chups 7y agoYes, but - the title length is limited - from my PoV, this needs some attention What would you propose as a title?
- emerongi 7y ago"German ministry of justice proposes law to force WhatsApp, Gmail etc to hand over sensitive user data"
- chupa-chups 7y ago"22 too long" I really tried to summarize with the available title length. And to be honest, laws like this tend to be passed in Germany. Sorry if you disagree. Please provide a better title. Honestly, I couldn't come up with one.

- chupa-chups 7y agoThanks. Changed it!
- grzte 7y agoFrom my PoV, this needs some attention, so I'm going to make stuff up so people click
- pera 7y ago"DOJ" is also confusing: this is not referring the US Department of Justice but the German Ministry of Justice (Bundesjustizministerin/BMJV)
- chupa-chups 7y agoThis is a bit too long for the title. If it was shortened no-one would understand it. And "Ministry of justice" in Germany equals "DOJ" in the U.S, which almost anyone understands.
