To be honest. If you’re online you should expect to be compromised. If you want to be privacy obsessed- focus on countries that allow you to be offline. That is an aspect Germany and Switzerland are a bit unique.
By comparison Scandinavia has a high degree of trust in government and everything is online and connected. It’s convenient but also - if you do not trust your data on the government’s hands - you’re not gonna like it here.
If the past two decades have shown me anything, it’s that I definitely don’t want my data in any government’s hands.
How is scandinavia more connected? I know cash is dying out everywhere but here and that everyone’s earnings are public, but those aren’t too important to me. Private communication and browsing (and generally not being spied on) are what I mostly care about.

Germany allows you to be more … disconnected.
