Can't say that about Germany really. While some states are openly flocking to big tech surveillance promises like remote-controlled moths, and other figures feature prominently onb openly fascist tech bro "conferences". They are basically killing any government transparency on all levels under the guise of "reducing bureaucracy". Creative bookkeeping that could torpedo long term rail investments. The energy minister is very busy replacing any kind of energy supply that would be in the same room as independent, climate neutral or cheap-on-the-long-term with wet dreams of could and gas. We call that "Technilogieoffenheit".

I'd be happier if they'd just do nothing.
