You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all.

We don't want to be on any list.

And now the US Gov and Musk are trying to get access to all data they have about every person and put them into a big fat DB and run AI over it.

I am afraid what they will do with that.

@bitboxer With the help of IBM? Do you have a source for that?

@floe @MrLaCave @bitboxer Thanks, this will be my next rabbit hole

@MrLaCave @floe @bitboxer good. Wait til you read about Hugo Boss, Mercedes, Bayer and Fanta!

@wonofone @MrLaCave @floe @bitboxer Those I knew already, IBM was indeed new to me. In general all Ultra Rich in Germany have a dark history #taxtherich

@MrLaCave @wonofone @floe @bitboxer not only the ultra rich. There are a lot of small and medium size companies older than 100 years owned by the families.
