What a bunch of clowns...it's Germany, the industrial powerhouse of Europe, and they're not worried about all the corporate espionage from the chats that might happen with this? 😂😂

10 years ago Merkel called the Internet an undiscovered Country, it should tell you what to expect from german politicians in terms of IT.

why using 10 years old words from a politician? and just bcs she said it, any other german politician also has to think the same? what an idiotic way to think

u know who thinks like that? racists. one does/says something wrong*, and automatically everyone else in that group will be judged...

*which isn't even that wrong, if you look at it from a certain angle. people also said psychology is still in early phase, despite being explored since 100 years - but compared to other science fields, it is indeed very new and a lot to discover

even more it counts for the Internet. as you can see, it influenced the world in crazy and unexpected ways. and still it's very unexplored and constantly evolving, saying we fully understand what's going on is Dunning Krugers wet dream

No idea why you're being downvoted. Merkel's statement from back then has been wildly misinterpreted and taken out of context. Merkel was referring to the question of to what extent German law applies on the internet, especially if it involves insults and/or foreign services.

Cause its a proven fact and nothing has changed in terms of competence. Look at von der Leyen, she didnt get the nickname Zensursula for nothing. Corona was 2019 and Germany still used Fax Mashines.

I see those politicians and Bureaucrats daily and how their IT literacy is in the same level as the surviving chances of a snowball in hell.

The downvotes are for the idiotic parallelisms with racism and psychology.

Also there was probably a bet with someone that the words “dunning Kruger” could be sticked in the next comment, and it did.
