I‘m used to work with various sources of information professionally and don’t get breaking news from Reddit. Free media do not exist. They all have certain alignments or views, they are all censored by governments etc. Russia just pushes news agenda from the top, America works in more subtle ways, through denial of access (I‘m complicit here), in Germany that’s mostly lawyers, publishers with agenda and (surprise!) privacy laws. Nevertheless it is still possible to stay updated and extract a lot of information even from censored media, sometimes reading between the lines. Overall I think German media do enjoy a lot of freedom.
I still do not understand how is this related to privacy. Yes, in democracy all things are important and connected. But the original claim was that somehow we have a problem with it. What is the problem?
