Yes, they like to .mov it .mov it

Illegal in Germany. You may not record conversations, if you try to enter something like that as evidence you'll get punished as well.

I suspect there are many countries with laws like that, and if your phone actually disables the feature when you enter them or just let's you hang to dry...

No, they just didn't pee for half a year

No need to, there is no fruit of the poisonous tree in German law. Police can strip search you in bright daylight on a crowded square for no reason - clearly illegal, bit what they find will be used to proscute you. The officers will be punished as well, at most with a stern talking to.

I didn't check the actual law, always a good idea to do so.

So, §201 StGB actually covers both, it is forbidden to "aufnehmen" (record) as well as "mithören" (spy on). Bonus, its forbidden to cite transcription (im Wortlaut mitteilen).

Its an old law, going back to video cameras with magnetic tape and actually tapping a phone line. So it was used quite often, including the mentioned fake surveillance cameras, that didn't record or even view anything but seemed to the public they did.

When dashcams became a thing people would be sentenced for using them. These days you can use dashcams, but never save for more than 24h or show the recording to anyone but the police/court.

I guess the law is a relict of living next door to Stasi, but its really just a guess of mine.

Not a lawyer, but as far as I got it, the storing isn't the punishable part, the recording is.

You can't have security cameras filming public spaces (like the road in front of your house). Even if its dummies, as people couldn't tell the difference whether the camera actually films them or not.

No, the user breaks this law, not the manufacturer. So the loophole for google is, they don't care about you.

Oh no, how terrible!

Google is not breaking the (German) law here, it actually is your responsibility as a user to not spy on people. Failure to do so means up to three years in jail, for a first offender most likely a fine. And your device that you used to break the law might get confiscated.

The later was already the case when people used radar warner apps (banned on Germany as well) and lost their smartphone for that.

Federal Republic of Germany, as opposed to the German Democratic Republic.

West and east

My thought :)

Of course they won't, how are they gonna recruit kids for their rightwing batshitism otherwise

Well actshly, rm removes the inode, not the file. If it's still in use it'll stay on the disk until the last fd is closed.

• with most file systems that are usual on linux

"What message? Oh no, I blocked unknown numbers, I didn't see that"

Feel like this is pretty easy to work around...

Search amazon for "shoes, size 13", you'll get anything but shoes in a proper size

How likely are you to recommend our product to your friends?

Extremely unlikely, because I just dont talk about random products to my friends...

You can lazy umount, which blocks new accesses and actually unmounts when it can

Use whatever distro your buddies use.

For me that was Debian.

Thought heise already won in lower courts. Tbh I dont care too much, I trust ublock way more than any reject button anyways
