Law aims at Whatsapp and Co – secret services should read messengers

Marshalls Covid-19

Messenger services allow secure communication – to the advantage of constitutional enemies and terrorists. In order to be able to read the encrypted messages, secret services have to smuggle themselves into the device. The federal government wants to make this possible for them – to the horror of the FDP. This Wednesday, the cabinet is discussing new powers for the secret services to monitor communications via Whatsapp and other encrypted messenger services. As the news agency dpa learned, the protection of the constitution, the Federal Intelligence Service and the military shielding service (MAD) should not only be able to eavesdrop on ongoing conversations via messenger, but also be able to read messages sent via messenger.

A prerequisite for the so-called source telecommunications monitoring (TKÜ) is in any case a corresponding order. In order to improve the control of such measures, according to the draft, the number of members of the G10 commission of the Bundestag responsible for their approval will be increased. That was important to the SPD. In addition, the Commission is to be provided with a technical advisor. The FDP criticized the project. “The fact that the intelligence services should now also be allowed to use the state trojan is like a sell-out of civil rights. It is very surprising that Federal Justice Minister Lambrecht, as constitution minister, takes this step towards the transparent citizen as an ideal of conservative security policy,” said FDP deputy parliamentary group leader Stephan Thomae. “The monitoring of encrypted communication, i.e. the source TKÜ, is the little brother of online searches and also represents a massive encroachment on fundamental rights.” Both would have “lost nothing” with the secret services operating in advance of the danger.

Dived on the run, the police lost sight of the Halle perpetrators

The Union, on the other hand, had long insisted on the regulation. “It is good and important that the amendment of the Constitutional Protection Act is finally on the way,” said her domestic political group spokesman Mathias Middelberg. Only in this way can the domestic secret service continue to exercise its role as an early warning system in the digital age. The draft from the Federal Ministry of the Interior also provides for an expanded exchange of information between the MAD and the constitutional protection authorities. The barriers to the observation of individuals by the protection of the constitution will also be lowered. The federal government is thus drawing conclusions from the right-wing extremist terrorist attacks in Halle and Hanau. Both attacks were carried out by perpetrators who, according to previous knowledge, did not belong to any group. According to a SWR survey, citizens’ trust in the protection of the constitution is only average to below average. 51 percent of the 1004 people surveyed by Infratest-Dimap stated that they had great or great confidence in the domestic intelligence service, while only 38 percent of the Federal Intelligence Service abroad did so. Conversely, 43 and 49 percent respectively stated that they had little or no trust in these services – by far the strongest supporters of the AfD, but to a lesser extent also of the left.
