I'd have thought that Germany would have enough representatives from the DDR to know why this is a bad idea. Which is why they're usually one of the most anti-surveillance countries in Europe and leaders of GDPR campaigning.

Even though we are fairly anti-surveillance as a whole, a lot of fairly radical surveillance laws get proposed all the time. Most die early, some die after push-back from the population, some get voted in and are thrown out by the constitutional court, and a few survive. It's a never ending fight.

Yes, that is true. It's not a way of getting informed politicians that we can follow, though. At least, I hope not.
