Deutsche Bahn (DB), a state-owned company under control of the gov of #Germany, is telling me when i try to buy a ticket or to log in (!) that "Your browser's behavior resembles that of a bot."
Suggestion is:
- change browser (!)
- change network (!!!)
or
"If you are using a VPN client, anonymization tool, [iOS stuff], or third-party antivirus software, please temporarily disable it."
#German gov. suggests giving up on privacy protection?
-> DPA complaint?
The crazy thing is that i am actually trying to log in, in order to use their website in a mode where they know my name, address and banking details. How more "not a bot" could I be than that?
This is catastrophic as a terrible piece of advice given by a public institution. But also pushing everyone who cares about their privacy to use private competitive services (someline.com) who have 137 (or so) "partners" to whom they may re-sell your data to!
#Germany used to do better than that...
