    Tbf, one minister’s opinion is not necessarily the opinion of the government as a whole.
    Unless it’s Lindner apparently.

      That’s true, but it’s not just one minister’s opinion. It’s the Federal Minister of the Interior who is directly responsible for public security, under which the data retention debate falls. And regarding the chatcontrol debate, it’s precisely this minister who represents Germany in the Council of the European Union, which is trying to find a common position on chatcontrol.
