> Germans are not luddites, they are careful with privacy.
Being scared of Google street view and continuing to use fax machines are not wise worries about privacy, sorry
Yes I know about the historical reasons they're "worried" about privacy, but it's a misplaced worry because they don't address their real privacy shortcomings, like requiring registration of people (+ sensitive privacy info) who live in a city, using last names (and not apartment numbers) in mailboxes, limited anonymous internet access (to please the copyright lobby, etc) and their lax internet security capabilities (like the Berlin courts who were still on Windows 95)
So again, if they really worry about privacy they're addressing it through the wrong angle.
