I think they are taught the same that the rest of us are, but their country has the first hand experience that enables them to see and understand on a deeper level just how important civil liberties and privacy is.
Nazi Germany passed laws restricting the public and private lives of “non-aryans” and other groups of people that they deemed lesser. With such laws, they turned the country from a democracy to a dictatorship. The nazis proceeded to kill millions of people, most of them Jewish.
And after that, there was like the parent commenter said the Stasi in East Germany, who was subjecting millions of people to mass surveillance.
And like I said, they have the first hand experience, so it certainly is more ingrained and near to life for the people of Germany than it is to everyone else.
