Germany Rushes to Expand Biometric Surveillance
Briefly

The proposed measures in the German government's "security package" threaten to undermine European laws and the German constitution, particularly concerning biometric surveillance.
Germany's push for expanded biometric surveillance post-Solingen threatens fundamental rights, contradicting the coalition agreement and igniting fears over privacy erosion.
Activists warn that the plan to broaden biometric data use could lead to serious violations of citizens' rights, raising alarms about increased state surveillance.
The introduction of this broad surveillance framework could criminalize activities like political protesting, compromising the freedoms built upon Germany’s historical lessons in privacy.
