And folks, if you think this is high tech, remember that was 2015. Anybody seen the movie "Blue Thunder"? In german it was called "Das fliegende Auge". They predicted it. The USA made it real. Home of the free, dudes. :-)

#USA #FBI #Surveillance #Anom #Wiretapping: "The FBI’s surveillance system for reading messages from Anom, an end-to-end encrypted messaging app the FBI secretly backdoored, was capable of much more than simply presenting the millions of intercepted chat messages, providing something closer to a complete monitoring of the digital activities of thousands of people in more than a hundred countries, according to never-before-published diagrams, screenshots, and technical documents that describe the system.
The system, called Hola iBot, allowed FBI analysts to plot peoples’ physical movements on a Google Maps style interface, provide summaries of their conservations, and draw social connections between users. In the eyes of one FBI agent, Anom became more of a social network for criminals than a messaging app.
“Welcome to Hola iBot!,” a login screen for the system says. “You are accessing a US. Government information system, which includes this computer, this computer network, all computers connected to this network, and all devices and/or storage media attached to this network or to a computer on this network. This Information system is provided for U.S. Government-authorized use only,” it adds."

Unfortunately, here's another case, this one from #Ireland, where there's a call for authorities to be able to "access" encrypted online messaging services
It's particularly disappointing that the call is coming not from law enforcement but from a judge on the High Court, who I would have hoped would take #privacy concerns more account
And anyone familiar with Irish history of the last 50 years knows there has been notorious abuses of #wiretapping in the past
Both the European Parliament and the German Armed Forces Bundeswehr use the US conference platform #Webex. In the #Taurus #wiretapping affair, this was fatal for many reasons:
End-to-end encryption #E2EE was not activated and is barely supported by Webex Analog telephone dial-in from abroad is of course easy to intercept Obviously no check of who was dialed in, spoofing easy US providers can always be intercepted by the US (without #E2EE)
Now or never: We need a communication sovereignty offensive that makes open, self-operated, metadata-saving and securely #E2EE encrypted communication a normality! Mr Bundeskanzler, Ms EP President, take it from here please!
