Germany has a history of its government using data collected about citizens against them.
Much legislation was created after WWII to try to prevent that from happening again.
- rvnx 10mo agoIt hasn't stopped the German Interior Ministry from campaigning for EU-wide chat control and pushing to reinstate mass data retention
- izacus 10mo agoThat's because this campaign is about changing that very law. Saying that "this is blatantly illegal" misses the basic point of this proposal being a CHANGE of the law that makes that illegal.
- tremon 10mo agoNo, it's even worse. This is an attempt to bypass those laws by bringing in a new one at European level, and having that supersede the obnoxious protections in member states' Constitutions (Germany is hardly the only one with such protections).
- izacus 10mo agoIf this passes, Germany would have to approve of it, which makes your diction a bit wierd. A country approving a law at a higher instance that changes their existing law is not bypassing anything.
