GSM: FBI will Bewegungsbilder-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Mobiltelefonie abhören , doch das genügt den Herren nicht. Jetzt soll den GSM-Betreibern auferlegt werden, ihre Kunden permanent zu tracken um im Bedarfsfall fertige Bewegungs- und Kommunikationsbilder von Menschen parat zu haben. Der im Bericht von AP/Washington Post zitierte James Dempsey (Center for Democracy & Technology CDT) ist einer der US opinion leaders in der Global Internet Liberty Campaign (GILC) -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Jeannine Aversa October 22, 1998; 2:43 a.m. EDT .... The Federal Communications Commission was expected to propose today that cellular phone companies make technical changes so the FBI, police and other law enforcers -- as long as a court approves -- can locate a person talking on a mobile phone. This and other additional wiretapping capabilities being proposed aim to help law enforcers keep pace with technology. With some 66 million cellular phone customers, police want the authority to legally tap cell phones to track down drug dealers, terrorists and kidnappers. But some groups worry that such a practice could violate privacy. The location proposal is part of a larger plan to implement a 1994 law that requires telecommunications companies to make changes in their networks so police are able to carry out court-ordered wiretaps in a world of digital technology. The proposal is based on a plan from the telecommunications industry. ... But James Dempsey, counsel to the Center for Democracy and Technology, a privacy group, said: ``We're prepared to fight this one every step of the way.'' FCC Chairman Bill Kennard stressed that police would have no access to locations without a court order. ``A lot of people are saying the FCC will turn mobile phones into tracking devices for the FBI and invade Americans' privacy. I don't believe that will be the case,'' Kennard said. ... But not every company has the technical ability to provide a caller's location. This proposal, if adopted, would set up a nationwide requirement for companies to follow. ... Under the proposal, police would only need to show the location is relevant to an investigation. Privacy groups say that means the government could easily track the movements not only of a suspect, but also of associates, friends or relatives. The proposal would provide police with that information based on the cellular tower, or ``cell'' site, where a call originated and ended. That would give information on the caller's location within several city blocks in an urban area to hundreds of square miles in a rural area. ... Privacy groups and the telephone industry contend the additional capabilities sought by the FBI go beyond the 1994 law and are an attempt to broaden wiretapping powers. The FBI says it merely wants to preserve the ability to conduct legal wiretaps in a world of constantly changing technology. .... full text http://search.washingtonpost.com/wp- srv/searches/mainsrch.htm#post or http://search.washingtonpost.com/wp- srv/WAPO/19981022/V000219-102298-idx.ht ml relayee par Miki San m.grinner@gis.at -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by published on: 1998-10-22 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
