German court extends support to people’s internet privacy

By 1130 0

A German court has observed that the authorities had too much access to the internet and mobile phone date of people.

The court has ordered the authority to develop a new law to protect the internet privacy of people.

Traditionally, Germans are very vigilant about their privacy laws. They never tolerate any kind of intrusion into their privacy matters.

They fought and dismissed the authoritarian politics of both the Nazi Germany and the post-World War Two East Germany, on this ground.

The latest directive of the court is serious in nature. It is expected to open up a serious debate on this matter.

The country has so far witnessed several movements demanding the protection of the mobile phone and internet date of people.

The court’s observation is expected to pave way for the emergence of a new political movement, which can force the country to introduce a strong law to protect the internet privacy of people.

It is high time to launch a global movement to protect the digital privacy of people. In most countries, the right to digital privacy is still in a primitive stage.

Let’s embrace the right to digital privacy together. Hope that the United Nations will take up the matter seriously.

The report implies that almost every country may see their population reduced in the near future.

Are we fully prepared to face this phenomenon? As per another report, the world is totally ill-prepared for the global crash in children being born.

It is suspected that the predicted fall in the fertility rate is likely to have a serious impact on societies across the world – particularly the western societies.

The phenomenon will affect the developed societies more than the under-developed and developing societies across the world

Some developed countries such as Spain and Japan may see their populations reduced by the year 2100.

Generally, fertility rate means the average number of children a woman gives birth to. The fall in the rate means the average number of children a woman gives birth to is falling.

Notably, if the rate comes down below the point of 2.1, then the size of the population starts to fall.

In the year 1950, the average number of children a woman gives birth to was 4.7. Since then the rate has been consistently falling due to various reasons.
