Is it just me, or reading it in German makes it sound even more totalitarian...
This ‘statement’ came out of the German Chaos Computer Club....which has a lot of common sense members, and usually pro-privacy. The actual draft is being worked at the EU, not in Germany. A lot of this draft law kinda shocked folks when it finally got out yesterday.
For it to pass, it has to pass via the EU assembly, and then each member state. It might marginally pass the assembly, but I can’t see it in the current form passing by all of the member states. I think even the Chaos Club is fairly negative about the intent here.
But I will say this....for what they say will be created....the Chinese, Americans and Russia already collect this data across Europe, and they should just ask one of them for a ‘copy’ and not try to create something out thin air.
