The difference is that the authorities in Germany don't have the legal framework to force someone to do this and threaten them to stay silent.

But as you can see, shit gets ignored. Secret government agencies in Germany could ignore laws there just as easily as the NSA does in the US.
- chmars 13y agoThere are no countries where you are allowed to go public on surveillance measures applied to your customers, user etc. – at least not before the surveillance has been completed. And while traditional surveillance measures have an end, today's +/- total surveillance is continous.
