This Saturday there was a big demonstration here in Berlin against internet surveillance. These days laws are being passed that allows state surveillance of all electronic communication – that is, sms text messages, telephone calls, emails, internet traffic etc – in the holy name of the war against terror.
We think this is bad because it turns everybody into a terrorist, and the surveillance data will easily be used for other stuff that preventing so-called terrorism. 15.000 demonstrators were there in one of the biggest demonstrations in Berlin since the reactions against the DDR regime in the late 80’s. Here is a video from Saturday:
