Data protection sounds like a huge brainwashing that Germans have been submitted to. At my work we analyze driving data, but our internal portal cannot be made public (with public I mean accessible within the company's intranet) because there might be people and cars in the video and this would violate their data protection rights. In the end everything need some extra layers of bureaucracy to comply with the laws or is simply not done. And the funny part is that many think this is how it works in other countries too.
