Bros at UCSC must be getting some good grants from the US military. I can already imagine the next gen of public-wifi driven drone strikes

I guess that means Germany did nothing wrong (when it banned public WiFi).

Isn't it the other way around? Germany actually has it made easier to operate a public wifi by limiting the liability on the side of the wifi provider with their mid 2010s legislation.

Famously it was illegal to operate public wifi in Germany until 2017.

Was it really illegal or was it that as the operator of the Wifi you could be held liable. There's a difference.
