Während Protestbewegungen auf der ganzen Welt an Schwung gewinnen - von Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter bis hin zu starken Pro-Demokratie-Protesten in Chile und Hong Kong - bauen Regierungen auf der ganzen Welt ihre Überwachungskapazitäten im Namen des "Schutzes der Öffentlichkeit" und der "Bewältigung von Notfällen" aus. Australien ist keine Ausnahme von diesem Trend.
As protest movements are gaining momentum across the world, with Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter, and strong pro-democracy protests in Chile and Hong Kong are taking centre stage, governments around the world are increasing their surveillance capacities in the name of “protecting the public” and “addressing emergencies”. Australia is not an exception to this trend.
On 25th May 2021, the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR ruled in the case Big Brother Watch v. UK that some aspects of the UK’s surveillance regime violated Articles 8 and 10 of the ECHR. Big Brother Watch is the first decision on mass surveillance since the Snowden revelations and sets a standard, grounded in “procedural fetishism”, which endorses the legality of bulk surveillance operations.
