Germany's proposed hack-back and surveillance laws raise constitutional concerns

Proposed German bills would authorise hack-backs against identified threat sources, including covert intrusion to read, delete and alter data, with some triggers fully automated and no human review. Biometric matching by private providers, including outside the EU, and training AI on police data are flagged as likely unlawful under EU data protection and AI rules. No CVEs, patches or affected versions are involved; this is a policy and legal analysis.
