Well, web means a world of transparency. I don't understand why they should dislike or feel afraid of Google Analytics. Whatever it is, I think sooner or later, many governments should learn that such attitudes belong to the past. .-= Website Promotion Blog´s last blog ..How to Get Search Engine Traffic via Images =-.

I’m from Belgium, Europe. I’m against anything similar to that German decision! As you guys said, very unlogical.

I would not be surprised of decisions like these by Middle-East and Asian countries, but Germany …!? It makes me feel ashamed of my neighbor country!

I truely hope this ban will not succeed.

This is pretty rich really, coming from a government with senior members who want to plant spy programs on the computers of potential terrorists, etc! Or, of course you could ask about the data scandals at Deutsche Telekom and the Deutsche Bahn (German Railways – which belongs to the government)

Politicians just don’t understand these issues, but they want to control as much as possible.

I’ve just watched a documentary on German television about parents who choose to educate their children at home. The state prosecutes them and threatens them with huge fines and jail sentences, yet people who are too lazy to work and look after their children properly get handouts galore! The politicians have no sense of logic, so I suppose you can’t expect them to understand the internet!

Google is the real winner with the Analytics product what do you think they do with the data on their end? Nothing in life is free!

Arg! The governments of Europe are going to destroy the internet. First that stupid law they just passed requiring user consent for all cookies (which hopefully won’t stand), and now this.

Good point Jeremy. We need someone to do something to displace that quote. Anytime there is the threat, though, that a US icon actually called himself a donut makes it tough to move away from.

My experiences with German people, even younger ones, are that while they like most of what the internet adds to their lives, there always is a diffuse “Angst” to be controlled by it. It seems to be something in the German soul that is scared of anything beyond their control.

Here is a funny and interesting article about the German people’s approach to the internet:

Funny how anything German prompts that old Kennedy quote.
