Germans value privacy to a degree that seems extreme to others. Google maps had a really hard time getting started there, for example. And cash is still widely used because it cannot be traced like card transactions.
This has nothing to do with privacy. Street polls do very much exist in Germany.
Just because it may seem extreme to others doesn't mean we're wrong though! And also doesn't mean it should be that much harder to gather data like this.
Agreed. Personal privacy is important, everyone should be able to decide for themselves what they want to have public/private.
