To be more specific, the conservatice party block (CDU/CSU) in Germany

SPD, FDP,

block
of German voters prefer this conservative block, so this is a problem
of
convincing more people and changing their vote about those topic).
Similiar
in Europe and the pandemic has shifted public attention away from the
downsides.
Rumors go that there is a good part that the German BSI may be split up
in the
future in what I'd call a "good" and "bad" part. This makes sense, as
if "security" public administrations have legal rights and obligations,
they
need technical support and this is typical within the ministry of the
interior. On the other hand the protecting part should be more
independent
maybe in the consumer and economy protection with the ministry of
justice or
the ministry economy.
Why not let the BSI play the 'good' guys and ZITiS the 'bad' guys ... ?!
Hopefully BSI will play white hat hackers and publish their findings on
their website.

P.S. Please dear GnuPG community do not see this thread as off-topic,
because in the future people inside or outside Germany may think of
how to securely and privately communicate globally with their
communication partners.
