It's neat how many genuinely good points regarding information security and privacy made it into the coalition agreement, but everyone knows that just because it says in the paper that a new gov't wants to do something does not mean they do it.
While that's true, the Green party and FDP seem to mean it, when they pushed for these rights and progressive legislation - and combined, they have the majority within the coalition. Here is to hope.
A majority within the coalition does not translate to a majority in the Bundestag, which is what's needed to put any of these many promises and plans into actual action.
Well, obviously. However, they can push for it within the coalition, which in total does have the majority. Obviously. My point is, both parties have a better track record for putting weight behind their "promises" than the SPD, which is a spineless vessel for anyone taking the leash.
