Österreich kann eine so komplexe Software wie den #Bundestrojaner nicht selbst entwickeln. Ein Zukauf bedeutet Millionen an Steuergeld für dubiose Firmen, die Sicherheitslücken in unseren Geräten am Schwarzmarkt verkaufen – auch an autoritäre Regime. derstandard.at/story/300000026

Last Friday, we (again) added a statement on the next iteration of the ministry of internal affairs trying to legalize #statetrojan #spyware for secret services: parlament.gv.at/gegenstand/XXV

TL;DR: It is a slight improvement over the last draft, but still doesn't align with technical reality.

@aliceif @kurimu turns out that also had minimal checks on such things. I don't recall anything other than checking the domain names of Package Names. That's the ecosystem. Today, does or any other app store even check this?
