Seems a bit funny for German politicians to be nominating US whistleblowers (and Assange). Shall we get some US Congressman to nominate those bloggers who investigated Wirecard?
- kzrdude 6y agoWhy not? Except it doesn't seem to be related to peace and security

- erdos4d 6y agoGermany is still very troubled from the Stasi times, I can see how this issue would receive a special place in the hearts and minds of the German people. Also, the US surveillance state is so overwhelming and oppressive, literally intended to collect all signal intel and store it for eternity for future decryption attempts, that they probably feel it is especially onerous and in violation of human rights. My 2 cents, but that's why I think they did this.

Ironic that the Bundestag MPs who nominated them are from Die Linke, a successor to East Germany's ruling party that ran the Stasi.
