> While true in essence, I don’t think that the German society broadly shares the value of privacy to a level that warrants such excessive restrictions. You are wrong. I have been living in Germany for almost a decade and it absolutely does. In fact, it is one of the things that I appreciate the most about German culture. Maybe privacy preferences are a bit incoherent sometimes, but nothing is perfect, and I much prefer that we err on the side of protecting privacy too much than too little. Especially in this brave new world we live in, were culture is being slowly but surly manipulated by powerful interests to erode the right to privacy more and more.
