welcome to lemmy :)
Lemmy, where I just posted in !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com that German police pulled over the bus I was on to demand everyone’s papers after crossing a Schengen border -- was just removed by the moderator.
I understand your point, but why post it in a privacy sub?
How could this possibly be unrelated to privacy?
They were not just looking at IDs to look for Turks (which IIRC is the reason they are doing it).. they were scanning everyone’s ID into a centralised system to generally track people’s movement -- even IDs issued by neighboring countries.
Privacy is about control. In this case, the privacy invasion reduces freedom of movement (control over your own travel).
