Thanks for the info. Would not have known this without your pointer. Can't imagine this being legal under GDPR. But as long as nobody goes to court over this (and I would have expected the ADAC doing this as it sees itself as a repres

Wow. Did not know this. Moving more and more in the wrong direction imho. Thanks for the links. Need to take a closer look.

As a total outsider my first instinct was to agree. Then I thought about aspects in my country (Germany) and thought that while not so obvious and blatant we have basically the same problems. And they grow year over year. Let's take th

Reading this and reading the comments I became aware again how lucky I am to be born in a place with strong customer protection and strong data protection laws. Wow. I imagine a dealership doing this here in Germany. Even repossession isn&#

This reminded me of a classical example of Chesterton's Fence [0]. I like the distinction between the sources that shaped a development. [0]: https://fs.blog/chestertons-fence/

I grew up in western Germany. My SO in the GDR (eastern Germany) before the Iron Curtain fell. Comparing my experience and hers (or her family's) gave me an interesting view of freedom. Namely that I think there isn't one freedom.

No. If a government censors it is censorship. Regardless if it forces a private entity to do so or does it themselves But me showing someone the door because they state that vaccination causes autism is not censorship. Just as an example. T

I still have letters from 30 years ago. I would count that as being durable. I also deleted a lot of letters and journals by throwing them away. I was bitten by a platform that stopped existing and took content with it. I had not backed up

He did not get censored. Did the US government force YouTube to delete his stuff? I doubt it. It was the (probably algorithmic) decision of a private entity not to provide free hosting and traffic for something they didn't like. Can we

The point is that the US (government) knew at the time of these ramifications. So in my book they were complicit. Not that any other country would have acted differently. I am not here to metaphorically shit in the yard of the US. It is jus

It took me a while to understand in which direction you are arguing. Of course the US is complicit (just not solely complicit as you imply I claimed - nice rhetorical figure by the way just a bit too obviously applied). They knowingly let a
