Then why do they need this legislation?

Perhaps they do not. Perhaps this was proposed with the goal that it will be rejected, so Germany and others can say:

"Look how much we care about your privacy!"

And then they scan in a clandestine manner. I do not trust any of these privacy apps, especially if certain people always try to discredit PGP.

Or it was proposed because some MP needed something on his resume. Or they want to tie up the resources of freedom advocates so that they do not work on even bigger issues.
