The exception is institutionalized: Der Verbraucherschutz and the various Datenschutzbeauftragte keep complaining whenever the ruling parties try to weaken the privacy laws. And the outrage about password leaks and other data security related news in all publications, be them more right-leaning like the FAZ or Welt, or left-leaning, such as TAZ, Spiegel or Frankfurter Rundschua, prove, that there is consciousness and interest. Media does not write about random things. They write for their audience. Hence there must be many people who care. Pointing to CDU is also not very convincing. Despite having the weakest position among all parties, they still support privacy issues, especially due to their close relations with German companies. And yes, those care a lot about privacy. There is massive outrage about the latest relevations - Airbus already declared they would sue Germany over this.
