ÖVP and Spö agreed that the intelligence service can observe messenger messages in the future. The focus is not only on layout, but also on business espionage. Because: nine percent of domestic companies are victims.
Again the terrorist warning from a foreign secret service came. This time the British warn the Austrian intelligence service for possible murder. This dependence should change in the future. A few days ago the path was for monitoring signal, WhatsApp & Co. However, there are ensure that the spy software used can violate our fundamental rights. Above all, the Neos, who are in a coalition with the ÖVP and Spö, remain for the time that the new legislative proposal will stop for the Constitutional Court.
Jörg Leichtfried, Spö State Secretary for the Directorate State Protection and Intelligence Service, wants to clean up skepticism. The defense against terror is only a field of the government of the government and intelligence service (DSN). “You must understand the DSN as a comprehensive protection of the Constitution. In addition to hazard monitoring, business spionage and disinformation, an increasing subject becomes. Economic espionage causes damage of ten billion euros a year,” warns Leichtfried.
Almost ten percent of domestic companies are spied on
The DSN in particular is the first contact point for companies. Even nine percent of domestic companies are hit by business espionage. The number has been ten times since 2015. “When our expertise is spied on, the Job Endangers analyzes,” Leichtfried analyzes.
This is precisely the reason why ÖVP and Spö are on it that the DSN can follow the Messenger services. But how is it ensured that the spy software is only used for chat monitoring and not all data is sucked up from the mobile phone? How are the rights of third parties protected?
Leichtfried installs a close -knife control here. First, there is an “exact documentation requirement for the procedures”.
In addition, a legal protection officer will perceive the procedure. “He can end it at any time. A team of lawyers and technicians who observe the procedure will be provided.”
Messenger monitoring can also be used in no more than 35 cases per year. If there are more than 35 cases, the parliament must also be reported. Leichtfried: “This cannot lead to massive surveillance.”
