From the second link:

Boy, that would never fly in the US, although one can understand the temptation to monitor these things.

Remember, Germany is the same country where, when a lady of my acquaintance called a government agency to formally leave her church, the guy on the phone told her, deadpan, that he could send her the paperwork, but he needed to inform her that she WOULD go to hell.

It’s not that Germans don’t have a sense of humor, it’s just that no one else can figure out what the hell it’s about.
