German Green Party politician and privacy advocate Malte Spitz weighs in.
Spitz took his cellphone operator, Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile’s parent company, to court to obtain confirmation that it gathered information about his activity. On Saturday, he authored a New York Times op-ed, “Germans Loved Obama. Now We Don’t Trust Him.”
Spitz appeared on “Democracy Now!” on Tuesday with WikiLeaks spokesman and Icelandic investigative journalist Kristinn Hrafnsson.
