Weird that you as a German actually want data protection laws relaxed. I would have though given your history you would want more of it. I certainly do.

German data protection laws do not offer as much privacy as you think, not when it comes to the state in fact many of them mandate data collection and retention requirements even when it's not needed or wanted.
They also offer very little visibility to what is collected.
Sure data cannot be easily shared or exported but this doesn't increase privacy as much as you think of at all, in fact it can hinder it.
