@npub1ukq5...s4c6 I‘m supporting your views totally. Just for the Context: Since the disclosures by Snowden we know that 3-letter agencies from overseas have been doing this and much more for decades disrespecting any form of local jurisdiction. Obviously this didn’t stop in 2013 but rather has been expanded. Therefore we shouldn’t make the Germans think that rejecting these laws preserves or gives them back privacy. It would be more precisely to call this a form of insourcing practices that are being done by others anyway, anytime, all the time. Including the handing over of information to German authorities.
