Merz won the German election. Here’s what it means for ~~Europe~~ [privacy].
-
The party manifesto also outlined a sweeping change of course in terms of data protection policy, encouraging more “pragmatic” rules that allow data to be used for innovation and growth, as well as law enforcement.

Party manifestos are dreamy wishlists for a parliament, in which they have the absolute majority. Merz's CDU tories did not win one. He'll need to form a coalition. Most likely outcome is one with the SPD social democrats. Coalition talks have a way of grinding these wishlists down. And they take time. So keep a watchful eye but it's too early to despair.

SPD as a junior Partner to the Union has a history of just allowing them to do whatever they want

Examples? Would have thought that this would apply more to the FDP. The SPD has zero incentive to roll over, given the ideological difference and the need to keep its identity intact for the next election.

True. But the social democrats are the only feasible way to a majority for Merz right now without the help of Nazis. There is at least potential strength in that. Plus the SPD know about their past. They'll have to find a way to strengthen their party's position in government somehow. They may surprise us with the spontaneous growth of a backbone in this area, under new leadership. All I'm saying is the die is not cast yet.

Hell no. The oposite. He is in favour for chat control. Thus going to be the end for freedom and democracy in Europe

Or at least the end of the democratic elements of EU member countries does have

And yet they do it every time

Yeah, but the SPD now has a long tradition in surveillance and police support. Especially if Nancy Faeser stays interior minister

Probably read my comment a little fast but that's okay.
This fucking sucks, I hope we get out of this chat control nonsense at some point, otherwise decentralised and self hosted services and messaging apps will have to be the way to go. -

My crystal ball tells me she will not be part of the next government. I think very few of the current SPD ministers will be. Possibly none of them. The stink of the past, failed coalition "Ampel" government will keep them out.
As I said before, it's too early to despair, there is potential for surprises, and we should keep an eye on it.
