    1. In Germany, compulsory ID cards were introduced by the nazis.

    2. The internet is a communications network, analogous to the telephone or post system. Such compulsory surveillance of private communication is not part of any existing laws.

      First versions of a personal id in Germany were introduced in 1850. I doubt the nazis introduced ids in South Africa or Vietnam.

      I also don’t think the internet is comparable to telephone or postal services. There is a whole information space on the internet simply not existing in the other two.

      You guys need to stop treating the internet as the wild west.
