What's gotten into Germany? Are their politicians sick? Why are they opposing it. Usually German politicians are the ones leading the charge on BS surveillance regulations.

Is your government opposing? → Great, but take a closer look at the reasoning: Some governments like Germany e.g. only object to the scanning of encrypted communications, but are fine with the indiscriminate scanning of other private and public communication, with the end of anonymous communication by requiring age verification, or with introducing a minimum age for “risky” communication apps.
