Rainer Wendt Slams German Data Protection Rules as Barrier to Cooperation
Rainer Wendt, a prominent figure, has expressed criticism towards German politicians for implementing strict data protection rules that, in his view, hinder essential information exchange. He believes these rules have led to a lack of cooperation between authorities, as exemplified by a minister's complaint in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).
Wendt argues that politicians are to blame for driving the expansion of data protection officers, a trend initiated by the Green Party (Die Grünen). This has resulted in the introduction of European rules like the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which aim to establish standards for appropriate data exchange and prevent misuse. However, Wendt contends that these rules have gone too far, creating barriers to necessary information sharing.
Wendt further argues that the practice of allowing the world to 'help itself to Germany' has become commonplace. He cites corona testing centers as an example of this. Wendt also criticizes politicians for shedding 'crocodile tears' over state fraud and plunder, suggesting that some forms of citizenship and child allowance can be obtained for cash, sometimes even legally.
Wendt advises politicians to create sensible rules that prevent misuse and recover lost funds to avoid high taxes. He believes that better data exchange between authorities, as advocated by the NRW minister, could help achieve this. Despite his criticisms, Wendt acknowledges that authorities follow laws, even those they deem 'stupid'.
