Germany's economy shrank by 0.3% in the second quarter compared with the first three months of the year, as demand from its top trading partner the United States slowed following months of buying ahead in anticipation of U.S. tariffs.
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?

Germany's auto industry have cut more than 51,000 jobs over the past year as weak demand, U.S. tariffs and the costly shift to electric vehicles weighed heavily on the sector.
Employment in the auto sector fell by nearly 7% over the 12 months to June, making it the hardest-hit branch of German industry, according to the report,
Across the broader industrial sector, headcount dropped by about 114,000 to 5.42 million, down 2.1% year-on-year.
