Here in Germany the rights of ISP users are supposedly better protected than in other jurisdictions. At least that's what I heard on this podcast [0], latest episode iirc.

Yet you can't watch age restricted youtube videos without giving them your ID or credit card information. In the name of "protecting children".

The German government also threatened to ban Telegram which would have put them in line with places like China, Russia, Cuba and Iran. I think Telegram folded and now removes channels at their request in order to avoid being fully censored.

None of this is relevant to the point that ISPs have more privacy protection in Germany than elsewhere.
