Nobody died from detailed records of peoples religion and ethnicity in Germany 70 years ago either.


Such were held and enforced by the state, not by local businesses. Say, more or less the same people who run network-scale intercepts and tracking nowadays, and collect/access/process a lot of real-word records about you. Do you really think that as a EU citizen I can go ask TSA all data they have on me and why they opened my bag last time I flew out of the US?


Intersting question. How far into state agencies does the GDPR apply in the same way it does for businesses? Can i make a GDPR request to my city library, hosptial, police or secret service? Or maybe even to the state as a whole?


Yes, you can and you should. Every government should be able to respond. Nobody is bared on Data subject request
