notizia interessante per la ricchezza dei dati raccolti (sembra) e per il volume di dati che sono trasmessi... g http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/16/ixp_sues_german_govt_surveillance/ The world's largest internet exchange point is suing the German government for tapping its communications systems. DE-CIX runs a number of critical exchange points - most of them in Germany, but with others in France, Spain and the United States - and has sued the German interior ministry over orders from the German security services to allow them to tap its exchange centers. The goal of the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Leipzig, is to reach a "judicial clarification" over whether the German government's actions are legal, the company said<https://presse.de-cix.net/releases/pressemitteilung/article/informationen-zu...> (in German), and "in particular, legal certainty for our customers and our company." ... the German intelligence services (BND) ... ... is given a raw data stream from the exchange point and officially is only supposed to search it for specific phone numbers and email addresses. But under what Papier notes is a "rather generous interpretation" of the law, the BND does far more, equating to mass surveillance. DE-CIX references the paper<https://regmedia.co.uk/2016/09/16/nvwz-extra_2016_15.pdf> [PDF, in German] by Prof Dr Hans-Jürgen Papier, past President of the Constitutional Court, stating that it casts "weighty doubts about the legality of the current practice." PS impressionante il traffico da DE-CIX per dare un'idea della larga banda in germania ... l'exchange internet tedesco ... 10 volte l'Italia, media 3 Terabits e nel picco superano i 5 Terabit al secondo (all'equivalente di Milano siamo a 300 Gbps di valore medio) Questo messaggio e i suoi allegati sono indirizzati esclusivamente alle persone indicate.
