> What does this mean for `Datenschutz` in Germany?

Datenschutz - Schmatenschutz.

"Datenschutz" is something that politicians talk about in their "Sonntagsreden" [Sunday sermons; a term hard to translate into English]. During the rest of the week, the politicians pass laws to gouge out civil liberties (because of "think of the children", "terrorists", "child abusers", "right-wing movements" - whatever is opportune in the current political climate).





I get what you mean, but Datenschutz and the bizarre processes built to appease it make an appearance almost every day here.
