Germany wants to spy over its citizens

[JorgeV]

Hello,

New German law would force ISPs to allow secret service to install trojans on user devices

A new law being proposed in Germany would see all 19 federal state intelligence agencies in Germany granted the power to spy on German citizens through the use of trojans. The new law would force internet service providers (ISPs) to install government hardware at their data centers which would reroute data to law enforcement, and then on to its intended destination so the target is blissfully unaware that their communications and even software updates are being proxied.

FinFly ISP is able to patch files that are downloaded from the destination on-the-fly or to send fake software updates for popular software.

Please note, to be clear, this is a proposal, and not current law. I'm sure this won't go through without privacy groups raising the profile to the public.

Unfortunately - I think everyone wants to spy on their own citizens.

Everyone wants to spy on everyone.
I know someone that works very hard to obfuscate everything else he does by overloading everything else by talking and posting about meals. It's hilarious.
