What country are you in? Because as far as I can see, there has not been much offline protesting (participation-wise). And online protests are mostly useless. 10.000 people in the streets raise more attention than 10.000.000 facebook likes.

Indeed. But it is important to note that any data collected by German intelligence agencies will be made available to other intelligence agencies, including the US ones, due to cooperation agreements in place. Unfortunately, some of these c

In principle I agree with you and I think you are right considering what the police is allowed to do and what not. As far as I know, a judge still needs to sign a warrant for the police to do anything. However... https://netzpoli

Don't use any of these email providers. First up, they are not trustworthy, especially Deutsche Telekom. DT is the privatised former state-owned telco monopolist, with a gigantic share of userbase and partial ownership by the German fe

That doesn't work as well if the culture has been inocculated. How does one do that? Well, I don't know if this is still done today, but when I was in 7th or 8th grade, they (school) drove us, by the busload, to visit a concentrat

I wonder if there is some historical regularity here. After all, my own country, "Das Land der Dichter und Denker" turned on its "Dichter und Denker" when it was at (or close to) the apex of intellectual achievement.

Accountability and culture. German intelligence services are "weaker" in the sense that they (seemlingly) still are under the control of the legislative body (secret contracts with the Western Allies sadly nonwithstanding). They a

Which I would call purposefully incompetent. I'm not even sure what this is supposed to achieve. They can't possibly believe that anybody will accept this as an honest effort to protect the personal data of German email users.

How about fact? If I may be so free to cite Wikipedia: The EU country that has the hightest per GDP expenses on health care, according to [1] is The Netherlands with 12.0% compared to the US with 17.6. EVERY other EU country has a lower per

So the "beacon of freedom" is going to be replaced by "less evil than Europe" as a marketing slogan? I don't know if it will withstand the fact-checking. The UK obviously has gone surveillance-bonkers, but some othe

I can see where both of you come from, but I'm tending towards ferdo's view. So far there is, to my knowledge, no historical precedent of a large data collection effort for the purpose of law enforcement* that has not ultimately l

And while you're at it, also watch the Star Wars prequel reviews. They beat the movies with regards to entertainment value by about three orders of magnitude. I wonder what would have happened, had the 4bn Star Wars deal been made a fe

That headline is horribly wrong. You can't catch cancer, since your immune system will recognize the cells as foreign and kill them. What the article really says is, that the vaccine was contaminated with a cancer-causing virus.
