In einem Rechtsstaat dürfen nicht alle Bürgerinnen und Bürger unter Generalverdacht gestellt werden. Die jetzigen Entscheidungen des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts sind für uns ein klarer Auftrag, die Vorratsdatenspeicherung nun zügig aus dem Gesetz zu streichen. BM @MarcoBuschmann:

Facebook has 3 billion users. X has 540 million, according to Musk last month. I don't think X gets to claim the title of "the effective global address book".
