> You make it worse than it really is, and simultanously miss all the bad stuff going on... I am sure that I am making it seem worse than it is, which is why I asked for views from people who grew up with these laws. As a first-generation immigrant American, a lot of things that shock me about laws and culture in the US are quite natural to people who grew up here (the most obvious example being guns) -- so I'm sure that the case in Germany would be similar. I am curious though, what do you view as "all the bad stuff going on" with regards to privacy?
