Westerwelle: No high tech exports to repressive regimes

[Pinga]

Cyberspace allows political activists to organize. But at the same time social media can be infiltrated. Surveillance technologies can monitor senders and receivers of political information alike. Repressive regimes can use the internet to disorganize, deceive, or even identify and arrest oppositional forces.

In repressive regimes political activists are confronted with threats to their personal security.

These regimes must not be given the technical means to spy on and harass their citizens.

Tell that to Boeing, who owns Narus. Narus sold their IP spying devices to various repressive Mid East regimes. The same devices NSA is using to tap the American Internet backbone.
