They will continue under a new name and description. The success to this day is not remarkable. That software has not stopped criminals like Olaf Scholz and his buddies, nor has it protect a mayor of a city that was killed in his own house. So, its useless and unethical to think to automate prosecution. Too many false-positives and a bad success rate is not and can not be the goal to break basic rights. The real criminals are not the weed dealers next door and not the dumb neo-fascists, they gather everyday in the parlaments with their shady double income, their wrongdoings and promises broken every day. For what that software has brough revenue, the victims of the flood this summer, would enjoy golden handrails and faucets in their newly built homes.

You can add Ursula v.d.L. to that list.

I lost faith in all EU governments to do anything for the people.

Ultimate power corrupts ultimately...

okay, there are always exceptions to that rule, like e.g. Emperor Marcus Aurelius

Anyone remember when democracy actually meant that the representatives of the people were chosen among the ordinary people themselves? While now we elect members of the elite to act as our representatives and we're shocked when we find out they actually represent the elite, instead of us, and are entangled in very complex and shady forms of corruption, bribery, tax evasion, insider trading and cronyism?

Who could have expected that? /s It's like sheep electing flock leaders among a pack of wolves. When will we stop doing that?

What did von der Leyen do?

Just google "von der Leyen McKinsey"

Just the tip of the iceberg

And what made her unpopular initially: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_von_der_Leyen#Blocking_...

For full context.

>criminals like Olaf Scholz and his buddies

Seriously?

It is suspected that he is involved with the Cum-Ex scandal, but to what extent remains unknown. He made very questionable (non-)statements in that regard though.

Oh look, $method didn't stop $crimes where it is not relevant. Not surprising.

> The real criminals are not the weed dealers next door and not the dumb neo-fascists, they gather everyday in the parlaments with their shady double income, their wrongdoings and promises broken every day.

Weed dealers given the current legislation are commiting a crime. One of the biggest gifts to the lack of prosecution of higher politicians are the infighting between smaller "liberal" parties. And their general naivity

Are the people that are opposed to this happy when adversaries have hacked Germany?

You're free to protest at the nearest Extinction Even protest and pretend the "green's" anti-nuclear push has nothing to do with the latest events

btw "criminals like him (O.S.)"? sounds like either an AfD apologist or Linke supporter.
