When Angela Merkel stated that "the internet is undiscovered land for all of us" (Das Internet ist für uns alle Neuland), she was mocked. Also by myself. Now I am convinced she just stated a fact, a true one at that. As sad as it is.

I think in the context of law, how it applies and should/could be enforced on the internet, societal implications like fake news, privacy and state surveilance (last was the actual context of the quote) she was right back then and is right still. We have little experience with the problems, discover new problems every other year and have no solutions that work well - hence, uncharted land.

Not limited to germany.

i look at this as running a small ferry to the island on a lake and the state demanding that i refuse passengers as a punishment for crimes they were never convicted of. Even if they had their day in court i should not be forced to punish anyone. Then i should also pay for implementation?

First the offender should pay for his persecution, then tax, then the victim but never some random citizen.
