The State as data collectors - From the rule of law to Präventions-/Überwachungsstaat
especially on the Internet, there have been certain legislative initiatives often political protests. Here, the debate over a impending police state certainly one of the traditional conflicts, but who has not lost its urgency. New technical possibilities, such as they are to be tested at the EU-project INDEC, are partly legitimized as the reference to the threat of international terrorism. The criticisms come to it becoming a restriction of fundamental rights (conflict. Individual freedom vs. collective security).

retention
Germany since November 2010 again being targeted by terrorist attacks. Ever since the Federal Constitutional Court declared the retention in March to be unconstitutional, there was no new draft law to implement it. Politically, the project is controversial: different views represented, for example, Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser Schnarrenberger (FDP) and Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere (CDU). The EU Directive on data retention, which triggered the debate, is currently in a process of reform. The implementation of data retention will remain for now a hotly debated topic.

The State as privacy advocates - Internet privacy
The Internet often appears as a space of unlimited possibilities - one or the other, perhaps even as a relatively lawless region. An apparent anonymity, and often present lack of transparency often leads to naivete, carelessness or ignorance. The legal treatment and punishment can thereby be difficult to impossible. In particular, the German data protection law has therefore faced with many challenges. The public discussions were sparked again and again to the services, "Google street view" and "Facebook".
