It was sarcastic. It has been proven in court that they spy and they have for a fact, changed the law a few years back. I would not, at any chance trust this corrupt government.
This makes perfect sense since we have a government that does not spy on its people or political opponents, or change laws that can let you verify that they are actually spying on you.
FYI, we have a pretty much mandatory government application that recently applied the google verification api and does not work if it has not been installed from the playstore. The application is of course closed source, has google analytics and can now only be obtained with a google account that basically requires a phone number that cannot be anonymous.
You cannot enter a football match for example without this application. You could use a second phone and take a photo of the QR (screenshots do not work).
Slack, but I have heard that it has gone downhill as well.
You cannot install graphene until it is paid off?
I doubt they care about EU laws.
