Everyone always complains how the Germans are so backwards and why most of them are "backwards" and insistent about having data protection and privacy rights.

Maybe, just maybe the US is starting to learn why we're like this.ay, just maybe it'd been better to learn from our past than repeating it. But this way works, too, I guess?
