Summary: The affairs of Dr Thomas Petri, Ms Voßhoff Andrea and Dr Stefanie Hubig (for Heiko Maas) show that nobody in Germany is really in charge of privacy, especially as far as Europe's second-largest institution (based in Germany) is concerned
IN part 6, which was published a few hours ago, we took a look back at the Benoît Battistelli's EPO when it was flagrantly breaking privacy laws, whereupon a letter from the Bavarian Data Protection Commissioner was sent (in May 2014). The complaint was originally sent to him in April and only in December the government (central) got back to him, in effect doing nothing of substance.
Many comedies have been made over the years about this sort of situation, ranging from
Tom Lehrer's song about
Wernher von Braun to entire TV shows (below).
