Letter to the eff (Electronic Frontier Foundation)
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
The legal situation in the EU and especially in Germany is getting worse every week.
After the upload filters, the state now demands that backdoors be built into the new 5G network so that the state can listen in and stingrays can be used effectively again (https://fm4.orf.at/stories/2982118/).
The highlight today is the news that Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU) wants to give security authorities access to standard end-to-end encrypted chats and telephone calls.
Messenger services such as WhatsApp or Telegram are to be obligated to record the communication of their customers on court order and send it to the authorities - in readable form, i.e. unencrypted. As SPIEGEL reports in its current issue, providers who do not comply with this obligation should be able to be blocked for Germany by order of the Federal Network Agency. (https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/horst-seehofer-will-messengerdienste-zum-entschluesseln-zwingen-a-1269121.html)
These are all serious measures and the EU and Germany in particular are increasingly developing into a surveillance state.
We need help, we need attention, we need to make people think.
I would be happy to hear from you and be very grateful for any advice.
Yours sincerely
