In Germany I thought it was due to being privacy conscious?
Fair enough. I guess it's different in Germany, then.

I think you can say that for a lot of countries. I would say the same is true in Germany.It's probably a cultural difference.
The German eagerly commenting that, actually, it's different in Germany is becoming a defining cliche of HN comment sections.
That is more a reflection on Germany than the practice.
Its very surprising that Places like Germany get away with this.
Indeed. It's interesting how different it is in the US vs. Germany, isn't it?
They mean that Germans are privacy-sensitive.
what makes you think that way about germany?
