So much for privacy on the Whole Wide World (Ed on TED)

I don't think our(germany's) government dares oppose snowden right now. It's right before the next election and government transperency is part of our constitution, so all the activist will gather I'd say.

They are really in a panic, aren't they? I still believe all governments have part in this though. Otherwise they would cut all ties with the US to voice their opinion out. Well maybe the governments are just so stupid that they don't even know it's the end of privacy.
lololitas:
It's a fact that the german government (or at least our BND) was involved, and that lead to some heavy credibility backlash for the coalition in power. I'm just saying that whoever proposes that we should raid a newspaper is going to be the one loosing the next election. I don't have any privacy anyway. once when I flew to israel the official checking me in the airport knew things about my past with much more detail than I remember them.

Got this in my email. I am not usually in support of the ACLU, but this one time, maybe. And maybe they should have made it scarier, than what they did in the video. I suppose the NSA does this already, except give you the pizza.
