Frühere Staatstrojaner-Untersuchungen der EU: Ausschussmitglied mehrfach mit Pegasus-Software infiziert
V članku je navedeno, da je bil Stelios Kouloglou, član odbora PEGA EU, ki preiskuje uporabo državno sponzorirane vohunske programske opreme, kot je Pegasus, sam dvakrat okužen z zlonamerno programsko opremo Pegasus med oktobrom 2022 in marcem 2023. kanadski Citizen Lab je opravil forenzično analizo njegovega iPhonea in potrdil okužbe, ki so se zgodile med kritičnimi fazami dela odbora. Čeprav napadi niso bili pripisani določeni stranki skupine NSO, analiza kaže na možno povezavo z akterji, ki ciljajo na ruske in beloruske novinarje in aktiviste. V poročilu so izpostavljene pomisleke glede varnosti parlamentarnih procesov in poziva k nadaljnji preiskavi s strani EU in nacionalnih parlamentov.
AfD ne postavlja teh vprašanj nikomur
Članek obravnava dve nasprotni situaciji, ki vključujejo Alternativo za Nemčijo (AfD) in Krščansko-demokratsko unijo (CDU). Prva vključuje prijateljsko interakcijo med kandidatom za AfD Ulrichom Siegmundom in politikom CDU Guido Heuerjem med javnim dogodkom v Halberstadtu, kjer se zdi, da imata kljub svojim političnim razlikam prijazen odnos. Ta trenutek je sprožil polemiko, nekateri pa so takšne interakcije kritizirali med volilno kampanjo. Heuer je kasneje moral javno ponovno potrditi svojo zavezanost "Unvereinbarkeitsbeschluss" (odločba o neskladnosti), ki prepoveduje sodelovanje z AfD. Druga situacija vključuje Hansa-Thomasa Tillschneiderja, namestnika vodje AfD v Saški-Anhaltu, ki je v podcastu izjavil, da AfD ne bi razmislil o oblikovanju koalicije s CDU. Vendar pa ta izjava ni dobila nobenega pomembnega odziva, za razliko od politikov CDU, ki se soočajo s podobnim pregledom.
Združeni narodi: Ne moremo več reči, da nismo vedeli
The United Nations' independent scientific panel on artificial intelligence has released a preliminary report highlighting both the potential benefits and risks of AI. The report notes that while AI could drive significant advancements in medicine, agriculture, and other fields, there is a growing gap between the rapid development of AI technologies and current regulatory frameworks. This gap poses serious risks, particularly in areas like biotechnology and cybersecurity. The report emphasizes the need for evidence-based governance but warns that regulations often lag behind technological progress. It also highlights global inequalities, noting that developing countries face greater environmental and social impacts from AI, and marginalized groups are disproportionately affected by biased algorithms. The panel, composed of 40 international experts, aims to provide knowledge rather than direct policy recommendations. The report serves as a foundation for upcoming discussions at the Global Dialogue on AI Governance.
Državna preglednost: Napad na svobodo obveščanja še naprej povzroča hude kritike
The black-yellow coalition government in Germany has proposed reforms to the Freedom of Information Act (IFG), which have sparked significant criticism from civil society organizations, journalists, and politicians. The proposed changes would require individuals seeking information to demonstrate a 'legitimate interest' in the documents they request, shifting the burden of proof from the state to the requester. This move has been described as a major threat to transparency and could lead to a two-tier system where only certain citizens have access to public information. Critics argue that these reforms undermine democratic principles by limiting transparency and enabling secretive decision-making. The reforms also aim to restrict the right to information to German and EU citizens, excluding others. Prominent figures such as the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Louisa Specht-Riemenschneider, and Left Party politician Sonja Lemke have condemned the plans, citing past instances where freedom of information requests exposed wrongdoing by officials.
Izbrana programska oprema za spremljanje Berlina: Skeniranje vedenja na Kottiju se bo začelo poleti
Berlinska policija je izbrala novo programsko opremo za spremljanje javnih prostorov, ki kategorizira človeško vedenje kot "nevtralno" ali "problematično". Ta sistem vključuje specializirane kamere, ki zagotavljajo slike za analizo.
Warum viele Zugewanderte Deutschland wieder verlassen
The article discusses a study conducted by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) that examines reasons why immigrants leave Germany. The research surveyed individuals aged 18 to 65 who migrated to Germany before April 2025, revealing that family-related factors and experiences of discrimination are significant contributors to their decision to leave. The study highlights that many factors influencing migration are politically controllable, such as bureaucracy, housing, and language acquisition. Younger migrants tend to return to their home countries or move to other European nations like Spain, Switzerland, Italy, and Croatia. The report criticizes bureaucratic inefficiencies, including lengthy processing times for citizenship, residence permits, and recognition of foreign qualifications, which hinder long-term planning and integration. Language proficiency is identified as another critical factor affecting integration success.
Interne Dokumente: EU-Staaten wollen Chatkontrolle-Zombie zurückbringen
The European Union member states are seeking to reintroduce a temporary exception to the ePrivacy Regulation, allowing internet service providers to scan user content voluntarily to combat child sexual abuse online. This measure was previously in place from 2021 until April 2026 but expired after the European Parliament rejected its extension. Germany supports the reinstatement of this exception, with the federal government emphasizing the urgency of restoring the legal framework to prevent a decline in reports of child abuse. The Council has approved a new proposal, which will now be voted on by the European Parliament. However, some members of parliament oppose the move, criticizing it as an unfair maneuver. Meanwhile, negotiations over a permanent chat control regulation continue without resolution.
Informationsfreiheit: Schwarz-Rot plant Frontalangriff auf Journalismus und Transparenz
V članku se razpravlja o načrtih nemške koalicijske vlade, da bi znatno omejila pravico do informacij na podlagi zveznega informacijskega zakona (IFG). Trenutno lahko državljani, organizacije civilne družbe in mediji zahtevajo državne dokumente, ki zagotavljajo preglednost in razkrivajo škandale. Vendar pa namerava sedanja vladajoča koalicija, ki jo sestavljajo krščansko-demokratična zveza (CDU), krščansko-socialna zveza (CSU) in socialni demokrati (SPD), oslabiti to pravico, tako da od prosilcev zahteva, da pred vložitvijo zahtevka dokažejo "zakoniti interes".
Nevarnosti starostnih nadzorov: Strokovnjaki se zapletajo
V članku se razpravlja o rastoči razpravi o sistemih preverjanja starosti v Nemčiji, pri čemer se poudarjajo pomisleki glede zasebnosti, diskriminacije in množičnega nadzora. Strokovnjaki opozarjajo, da bi obvezni pregledi starosti lahko privedli do povečanega zbiranja podatkov in sledenja, kar bi spodkopalo anonimnost in zasebnost. Nemški etični svet je sprožil alarm glede teh tveganj, vendar še vedno omogoča neko obliko nadzora starosti. Komisija, ki jo je imenovalo ministrstvo za družino, je izdala 56 priporočil za zaščito otrok na spletu, ki priznavajo nevarnosti nekaterih metod, medtem ko še vedno zagovarjajo preverjanje starosti.
Avstrijska vlada želi najti ljudi z nezakonitimi podatki
The Austrian government has extended a license for surveillance software called Webloc, developed by the U.S. firm Penlink, which collects location data from up to 500 million mobile devices worldwide. This information includes precise GPS locations and unique advertising identifiers used by apps. The data is typically collected for advertising purposes but flows through the ad industry ecosystem to data brokers and then to surveillance companies. Experts argue this violates the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as personal data being traded purely as a commodity is incompatible with privacy laws. Research by netzpolitik.org and other outlets has shown how popular mobile apps transfer user data to third parties, enabling authorities to track individuals' movements, including sensitive locations like medical facilities or religious sites. Austria’s Interior Ministry did not directly comment on the use of Webloc, stating it would not disclose specific software solutions due to legal constraints.
Kibernetsko suženjstvo v tovarnah goljufij: "Kdor pobegne tigru, sreča krokodila"
The article discusses the growing issue of cybercrime through 'scam factories' in Southeast Asia, particularly focusing on forced labor and human trafficking. It highlights how these operations, often run by organized criminal networks, exploit vulnerable individuals, including young people from Africa and other regions, who are lured with false job offers and then trafficked into scam centers. The article references reports from Amnesty International and the United Nations, which document the scale of the problem and the lack of effective action by authorities despite awareness since 2022. It also notes that while some progress has been made, many scam facilities remain operational, and victims are treated as criminals after being freed.
Nadzor nad novinarji: Ali lahko BND vdira v novinarje?
The German foreign intelligence agency, BND, is facing scrutiny over whether it is allowed to hack journalists and install surveillance software on their phones. The organization 'Reporters Without Borders' argues that current laws governing the BND violate fundamental rights, including privacy and freedom of expression. After failing to win a constitutional court case in Karlsruhe, the group has turned to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg, which has indicated it will consider the complaint and potentially treat it as an 'impact case,' meaning it could set a precedent for surveillance practices across Europe. The ECtHR oversees compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights, which is part of the Council of Europe, not the EU. Reporters Without Borders claims that Germany’s legal framework fails to adequately protect journalists from surveillance, creating a chilling effect that deters potential whistleblowers and limits access to reliable information. They also criticize the lack of transparency and effectiveness of parliamentary oversight of the BND.
Uredba o gotovini: Kako želi EU okrepiti vlogo gotovine
Evropski parlament se je strinjal z zakonodajnim paketom, ki vključuje digitalni evro, vendar ima tudi za cilj okrepiti gotovino kot zakonito plačilno sredstvo. Predlagana uredba opredeljuje gotovino kot pravno priznano plačilno metodo, s ciljem razjasniti njen status v euroobmočju. Pravni strokovnjak Sebastian Omlor poudarja pomanjkanje jasnosti glede sprejemanja gotovine in potrebo po jasnih pravilih o tem, kdaj lahko podjetja zavrnejo gotovinska plačila.
