Per la prima volta in Europa un giudice riconosce che l’algoritmo non è neutrale nelle sue decisioni ma consapevolmente è capace di discriminare perché riproduce all’infinito la “logica” dei suoi programmatori.

BND Reform 2.0 - about:intel
by Alberto Cammozzo Jan. 2, 2021

Jan. 2, 2021

<http://aboutintel.eu/bnd-reform/> */Discussion Prompt: To what extent does Germany’s new BND draft bill provide a rights-based and modern framework for foreign intelligence? /* In May 2020, the German Constitutional Court ruled <https://www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/EN/2020/05/rs2…>that key provisions in the current legal framework on the German foreign intelligence service (BND Act) are unconstitutional and that the Bundestag has until December 2021 to rectify a long list of deficits. The basic premise of the Court’s judgement is that the right to private communication and the right to press freedom under Germany’s Basic Law are rights against state interference that ought to extend to foreigners in other countries, too. In its new foreign intelligence bill, German state authority must honor these rights not just with respect to its own citizens and residents but also with regard to non-nationals the world over. Drafting a new legal framework for Germany’s foreign intelligence collection requires a substantial overhaul of the provisions on the surveillance of foreign telecommunications, on the sharing of intelligence thus obtained with other bodies, and on the cooperation with foreign intelligence services as well as the design of effective judicial and administrative oversight. Many legal, technical and political decisions that now need to be made are open questions in other countries, too. This concerns, for example, the mandate for bulk collection, oversight requirements, the rights and protections afforded to non-nationals, or special protections for journalists. Does this BND reform 2.0 manage to protect both fundamental rights and security? And will it therefore see Germany enter the small club of liberal democracies paving the way for better rights-based intelligence conduct in the world or will it only be a matter of time before this reform, like its predecessor, will be squashed in court? With much at stake, the variety of perspectives featured in this panel is intended to provide answers to these questions and help both the members of the Bundestag and the general European public to form their opinion on a truly consequential piece of security legislation. <https://aboutintel.eu/bnd-failure-journalistic-safeguards/> <https://aboutintel.eu/bnd-bill-loopholes-oversight/> <https://aboutintel.eu/high-hurdles-for-bnd/>
