In order to monitor encrypted communication, investigators will in future, according to the Senate draft and the Änderungen der Abgeordneten, not only be allowed to hack IT systems but also to secretly enter suspects’ apartments.
If remote installation of the spyware is technically not possible, paragraph 26 explicitly allows investigators to “secretly enter and search premises” in order to gain access to IT systems. In fact, Berlin is thus legalizing – as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania did before – state intrusion into private apartments in order to physically install Trojans, for example via USB stick.

Something something european democracy something something bulwark against Russian Chinese authoritarianism, something something east german stasi
Such hollow, opportunistic rehtoric from people and governments who are doing the exact same things they accuse others of. Germany in particular, with it’s to-the-hilt support of Israel’s genocide, does not seem to have learned it’s lesson.
fascists generally accuse others of what they are doing themselves. like how some of the most homophobic ones are sometimes secretly very gay.
because these people’s politics aren’t based on facts, but their feelings, ironically.
