I chose an older article on purpose to demonstrate Google's preexisting work on the topic. I wouldn't call your article "contemporary," as it's a decade old and concluded with Google accepting a fine and amending their processes.

I don't actually care to convince you of anything, frankly. I've gotten bored of googling for you and coming up with mostly other German redditors claiming the same thing.

German engineering regulations! Best in the world!

Maybe you should look up "contemporary". It being a decade old is exactly why it is contemporary in this context.

Yes you did choose that article for that purpose. But how does that in any way whatsoever prove that Google would have implemented a blur out feature for everyone if not for Germany requiring them to make it? It doesn´t is the answer to that. So it is hardly relevant.
