The 2018 film is a really good movie, I would highly recommend checking it out!

+1 to this! I wonder if some of the horror in it (the constant threat of the Stasi and its implications) translates well to non-German audiences. In case you're wondering about Germany's strict privacy laws - this is part of why they exist.

Probably this is an also big component in the notorious German preference for cash over cards.

That was caused by interchange fees, and it has disappeared now.

Not anymore.

No, on the contrary. Germany is a big proponent of chatcontrol.

The havoc that finding out your family and friends spied on you for benefits, can not be overstated. How deeply anti social and lonely such a divided and conquered socialist utopian society is can not be expressed in words, and yet it can.

Nowadays we don't even need family and friends to spy on you for benefits; websites and apps do it for advertising revenue.

I wonder if future generations will wonder why being spied on and monitored was even noteworthy, let alone a cause for concern.
