Puh, although I get the pun I wouldn't like the Stasi-reference in the
organisation's name.
After all, the Stasi was an organisation known to abduct and kill, and
to harass an entire nation.
Though we're just facing some enormous changes in privacy- and
security-policy no one in Germany can say that "it's as bad as it was
with the Stasi". If someone really thinks that way, I'd advice to get a
good textbook on history...

I have no problems to use references to the Stasi in a polemic context,
but to make it your whole slogan wouldn't be fair to the victims of the
Stasi.

And yes, that also applies to the Gestapo and all the other Godwin-like
arguments.

We're just in the phase of making up the articles of the organisation.
The preliminary name for the organisation is "Privacy Legal Fund (Germany)".
