#Germany gave the world two of the most oppressive spy apparatuses the world has ever seen: the #Gestapo and the #Stasi, one right after the other, spanning many decades. Before that, the #GermanEmpire also had such things for decades. The world really does not need Germany to increase the powers of its spy agencies https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-foreign-intelligence-agency-power-bnd/ Much of #Austria's society was also complicit in the #Nazi era abuses, and Austria keeps its spy agencies very limited, even compared to Germany's #BND.
