Everyone else's laws are more or less the same.

The EU and UK have almost identical privacy laws - the GDPR, so Germany having exceptional privacy laws doesn't hold up. As far as other privacy laws go I think France has a lead on Germany with approximately the same population, so privacy law can't be the main consideration.
