People here don't care. The general opinion about the right to privacy is that it's A Good Thing, but why would you care about your data if you have nothing to hide? The debate focusing on questions regarding privacy and integrity before the FRA law was a media charade and in the end people didn't care enough to oppose the FRA law. Most of the opponents were pirates and the debate often times came down to a discussion of intellectual property instead. Respectable members of society didn't want to associate with pirates, I guess. What's happening now is just an extension of that. People know that the gouvernment collects the data. It's a bit weird that "we" veto something like this, but other than that there's nothing new. There was this intelligence affair in the seventies called the IB affair where there was profiling (among other things) directed against left wing groups. It caused a big stir when it was revealed to the public. What's happening now is IMO more extensive, but what's known about the activities related to the FRA law is supported by law. Political profiling is still criminal. We don't know of any political profiling taking place at the moment, but the FRA law certainly makes it easier.
