This is basically just someone either misunderstanding how the German government works, or deliberately misleading.
A committee of the parliament held a hearing where the invited experts said that it's a bad idea.
That's it. Parliament didn't vote on it. The government didn't publish a guideline that they'll oppose EU decisions.
Please stop upvoting this stuff. It's content marketing that pretends "experts say" means "Germany opposes".
- jeroenhd 4y agoIt should be noted that Tutanota is a German-based encrypted communications company. I fully believe that they stand behind privacy and other such values, but they're not exactly a neutral party here. If Germany would get the image of being a privacy hellscape, their business could get in trouble.
- thenaturalist 4y agoThe best source on all things digital privacy in Germany (and possibly the EU dealings) is Netzpolitik.org: https://netzpolitik.org/tag/client-side-scanning/ https://netzpolitik.org/tag/client-side-scanning/ They're independent journalists, no product other than info and have been at this for over a decade. CCC is another extremely informed one.
