It's not the only attempt of the current government of Austria to do something against privacy on the internet. - There is the idea of a tax called "Digitalsteuer": A tax for internet companies which didn't pay taxes for some reason. However, it is estimated this would make only some million dollars (~25 to 30/year). At the same time, it could lead to too much surveillance because somebody would have to save the address and location data of Austrian users somewhere. https://derstandard.at/2000100880156/Kritiker-befuerchten-durch-DigitalsteuergesetzTotalueberwachung https://derstandard.at/2000100880156/Kritiker-befuerchten-du... - And the "Überwachungspaket": -> you need to register prepaid sim cards -> limitation of the secrecy of letters -> data retention by ISPs etc https://epicenter.works/thema/ueberwachungspaket https://epicenter.works/thema/ueberwachungspaket
