Interior Minister Nancy Faeser proposes allowing investigators to install spy software on terrorism suspects' devices, drawing controversial comparisons to the Stasi practices in East Germany.
Faeser justified the measure by citing recent Islamist attacks, arguing that security authorities need enhanced powers to combat such threats effectively and protect citizens.
Amidst concerns, the Free Democrats (FDP) party remains opposed to government-sanctioned secret home intrusions, emphasizing the importance of upholding citizens' rights amidst security debates.
Currently, German laws permit security authorities to covertly search electronic devices under specific circumstances without needing a physical home invasion, demonstrating a balance between security and rights.
