Ebenfalls noch nicht gesehen hat die Republik, daß 2 Hundertschaften aus Berlin vorzeitig vom Hamburger G- 20-Gipfel nach Hause geschickt wurden. Wenn man unbedingt diplomatisch bleiben will, dann könnte man vielleicht formulieren: Wir brauchen uns keineswegs zu wundern, daß es zu verändertem Freizeitverhalten von Polizei und Militär – siehe neueste Vorfälle in der angeblichen “Sexkaserne” Pfullendorf – kommt, wenn die BASIS-SOZIALISATION in einer GESELLSCHAFT OHNE TRADITIONELLE FAMILIEN zusammenbricht, wo der STAAT als ERSATZFAMILIE auftritt in Kinder-Ganztagsbetreuung und Ganztagsindoktrination, nachdem ein staatlicher WOHLSTANDS-SOZIALISMUS eingeführt wurde. (Gott sei Dank WISSEN die allermeisen Eltern gar nicht, WAS in den STAATLICHEN Schulbüchern zum Beispiel zur Sexualerziehung WIRKLICH drinsteht!) – Meine Prognose ist absolut NEGATIV: Wir werden noch viel schockierenderes Verhalten sehen, wenn die staatlich organisierte DURCHSEUCHUNG der gesamten Gesellschaft mit sogenannten “weichen Drogen” abgeschlossen sein wird, zum Beispiel durch mehr oder weniger kostenfreie Haschischangbote auf dem Schulhof. – Aber na klar: Ich benutzte hier eine besonders schockierende Sprache, weil ich schon damit rechne, daß es im Grunde SCHNURZPIEPEGAL ist, was ich Freizeitschreiber hier zum Besten gebe – oder nicht! source: Exzessive

    Understanding Schrems II and Its Impact on the EU-US Privacy Shield

    EU Data Transfer Requirements and U.S. Intelligence Laws: Understanding Schrems II and Its Impact on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield March 17, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46724 SUMMARY R46724 EU Data Transfer Requirements and U.S. March 17, 2021 Intelligence Laws: Understanding Schrems II Chris D. Linebaugh and Its Impact on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Legislative Attorney On July 16, 2020, in a decision referred to as Schrems II, the Court of Justice of the European Edward C. Liu Union (CJEU) invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield (Privacy Shield). Privacy Shield is a Legislative Attorney framework developed by the European Union (EU) and the United States to facilitate cross- border transfers of personal data for commercial purposes. Privacy Shield requires companies and organizations that participate in the program to abide by various data protection requirements and, in return, assures the participants that the transfer is compliant with EU law. The CJEU, however, found Privacy Shield inadequate in part because it does not restrain U.S. intelligence authorities’ data collection activities. According to the CJEU, U.S. law allows intelligence agencies to collect and use the personal data transferred under the Privacy Shield framework in a manner that is inconsistent with rights guaranteed under EU law. The CJEU focused on Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, Executive Order 12333, and Presidential Policy Directive 28, which govern how the U.S. government may conduct surveillance of non-U.S. persons located outside of the United States. The CJEU’s Schrems II ruling has significant implications for personal data transfers between the EU and the United States.

The United States intelligence effort shall provide the President, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council with the necessary information on which to base decisions concerning the development and conduct of foreign, defense, and economic policies, and the protection of United States national interests from foreign security threats. All departments and agencies shall cooperate fully to fulfill this goal. (a} All means, consistent with applicable Federal law and this order, and with full consideration of the rights of United States persons, shall be used to obtain reliable intelligence information to protect the United States and its interests.

Suspect Until Proven Guilty, a Problematization of State Dossier Systems via Two Case Studies: The United States and China Abstract This dissertation problematizes the "state dossier system" (SDS): the production and accumulation of personal information on citizen subjects exceeding the reasonable bounds of risk management. SDS - comprising interconnecting subsystems of records and identification - damage individual autonomy and self-determination, impacting not only human rights, but also the viability of the social system. The research, a hybrid of case-study and cross-national comparison, was guided in part by a theoretical model of four primary SDS driving forces: technology, political economy, law and public sentiment. Data sources included government documents, academic texts, investigative journalism, NGO reports and industry white papers. The primary analytical instrument was the juxtaposition of two individual cases: the U.S.

    April 11, 2014 Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board 2100 K St. NW, Suite 500 Washington, D.C. 20427 Re: March 19, 2014 Public Hearing Dear Chairman Medine and Board Members: The Constitution Project (TCP) welcomes this opportunity to comment on the March 19, 2014 public hearing and to offer our views on whether the federal government’s surveillance programs operated under the authority of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), 50 U.S.C. § 1881a, properly balance efforts to protect the Nation with the need to protect privacy and civil liberties. TCP is a non-profit think tank and advocacy organization that brings together unlikely allies—experts and practitioners from across the political spectrum—to develop consensus-based solutions to some of the most difficult constitutional challenges of our time. TCP’s bipartisan Liberty and Security Committee, comprised of former elected officials, former members of the law enforcement and intelligence communities, as well as legal academics, practitioners and advocates, previously made recommendations for statutory amendments to add warrant requirements and increase judicial and congressional oversight of Section 702 programs. See TCP’s September 2012 Report on the FISA Amendments Act. Liberty and Security Committee members convened following the PCLOB’s March 19, 2014 hearing, discussed the witness testimony and other newly available information, and agreed to reaffirm their previous policy on Section 702, with the following additional comments and recommendations.1 I. The Operation of Section 702 Our comments are supported by information about the operation of Section 702 recently revealed through declassified Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) opinions and leaks by National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden.

    National Programmes for Mass Surveillance of Personal Data in Eu Member States and Their Compatibility with Eu Law

    DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT C: CITIZENS' RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS CIVIL LIBERTIES, JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS NATIONAL PROGRAMMES FOR MASS SURVEILLANCE OF PERSONAL DATA IN EU MEMBER STATES AND THEIR COMPATIBILITY WITH EU LAW STUDY Abstract In the wake of the disclosures surrounding PRISM and other US surveillance programmes, this study makes an assessment of the large-scale surveillance practices by a selection of EU member states: the UK, Sweden, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Given the large-scale nature of surveillance practices at stake, which represent a reconfiguration of traditional intelligence gathering, the study contends that an analysis of European surveillance programmes cannot be reduced to a question of balance between data protection versus national security, but has to be framed in terms of collective freedoms and democracy. It finds that four of the five EU member states selected for in-depth examination are engaging in some form of large-scale interception and surveillance of communication data, and identifies parallels and discrepancies between these programmes and the NSA-run operations. The study argues that these surveillance programmes do not stand outside the realm of EU intervention but can be engaged from an EU law perspective via (i) an understanding of national security in a democratic rule of law framework where fundamental human rights standards and judicial oversight constitute key standards; (ii) the risks presented to the internal security of the Union as a whole as well as the privacy of EU citizens as data owners, and (iii) the potential spillover into the activities and responsibilities of EU agencies.

    The Criminalization of Whistleblowing

    THE CRIMINALIZATION OF WHISTLEBLOWING JESSELYN RADACK & KATHLEEN MCCLELLAN1 INTRODUCTION The year 2009 began a disturbing new trend: the criminalization of whistleblowing. The Obama administration has pursued a quiet but relentless campaign against the news media and their sources. This Article focuses on the sources who, more often than not, are whistleblowers. A spate of “leak” prosecutions brought under the Espionage Act2 has shaken the world of whistleblower attorneys, good- government groups, transparency organizations, and civil liberties advocates. The Obama administration has prosecuted fi ve criminal cases 1. Jesselyn Radack is National Security and Human Rights Director at the Government Accountability Project (GAP), a non-profi t organization dedicated to promoting corporate and government accountability by protecting whistleblowers, advancing occupational free speech, and empowering citizen activists.

The Obama administration is right to protect information that might legitimately undermine national security or put Americans at risk.

    Damming the Leaks: Balancing National Security, Whistleblowing and the Public Interest

LINCOLN MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW _____________________________________ VOLUME 3 FALL 2015 _____________________________________ DAMMING THE LEAKS: BALANCING NATIONAL SECURITY, WHISTLEBLOWING AND THE PUBLIC INTEREST Jason Zenor1 In the last few years we have had a number of infamous national security leaks and prosecutions. Many have argued that these people have done a great service for our nation by revealing the wrongdoings of the defense agencies. However, the law is quite clear- those national security employees who leak classified information are subject to lengthy prison sentences or in some cases, even execution as a traitor. In response to the draconian national security laws, this article proposes a new policy which fosters the free flow of information. First, the article outlines the recent history of national security leaks and the government response to the perpetrators. Next, the article outlines the information policy of the defense industry including the document classification system, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), whistleblower laws and the Espionage Act. Finally, the article outlines a new policy that will advance government transparency by promoting whistleblowing that serves the public interest, while balancing it with government efficiency 1 Assistant Professor, School of Communication, Media and the Arts, State University of New York-Oswego.
