That should not be allowed, IMHO. But I am a low-key Communist, so my humble opinions do not count in this world.

Yeah, came here to say this. The data location makes almost no difference if confidentiality is the issue.

I mean, Daniel is a name that was given to 2 of my schoolmates in Italy. And it could be just as well be given to any American in the last 80 years if not more.

I know we all don’t like stereotypes and that English is a Germanic language, but if you are trying to make the point that you are not American but German that is NOT the name I would have chosen.

Now that’s dumb on so many levels…

I hope Germans are smarter than that. Also, Daniel is not the most German name they could have found, I am sure a Klaus or a Reinhardt would have worked better. Unless Daniel is an American employee conceived in Germany by his parents and the tagline refers to him.

Also, here in Denmark and in Italy Coca-Cola relies on local bottling companies who would surely lose volumes, but those would be also freed up for local or do-good alternatives, such as Fritz Cola (which is very good in it’s zero calories version) and Gaza Cola (yeah, that’s probably never gonna happen in Germany, but still a good example).
