Kiss Your Constitution Goodbye: Spyware Has Become a Legal Government End Solution
It’s official: The German supreme court approved the “Bundestrojaner
“. German link only, but I am sure many links in all languages will follow soon…
Anyway, the Bundestrojaner is a trojan horse the government put’s on your computer.
The spying is only ok if human lives or the existence of the state are endangered. What do think how many other countries love those German politicians and judges right now? And especially Germany, a country haunted by their Third Reich
past.
We all know how those things work out: Give the government a finger and they’ll rip out your arm. Or more.
We all know that laws are broken; by bad guys the so called criminals and by the good guys; just look at the news and the amount of complaints and lawsuits. But putting spyware on peoples computers?
1984
Or maybe this was a stroke of genius from the German government - to decrease unemployment rates. Think about it: Now everyone will get busy to get more and more anti-spy-software. Anti-government software. And the Government will get busy to write more and more trojans. It also gives a totally new meaning to buyer beware: “This computer is officially government infested.” Welcome to the world of the anti-anti-anti-trojan…
Of course the one thing you will not see is that this trojan will land on the computers of those government officials that do wrong, steal, lie, betray, molest, abuse power….
What a sad day for human kind.
PS: Germany, the same country that has states paying hackers to decrypt Skype conversations…

Spyware, torjans, and backdoors. This is going on since years and without the Germans move most of this would have stayed on the dark side…
