TKÜV E-Mail Überwachung... Good that you mention it. There's a lot of misunderstanding are paranoia about this at the moment. I hope I can put it into understandably english (I'll stop public replies to this topic after this one, promised). In short (way OT) - monitoring of telecommunications is already allowed for law enforcement, it is existing law. Just like telephone companies must make it possible for officials (after a judical decision) to tap into a phoneline, email providers with more than 1000 clients must make it *technically* possible that officials can monitor email traffic of crime suspects. The TKÜV means that email providers *must* supply ways for law enforcement to actually monitor - BUT that monitoring will only happen after a judical decision. By no means all mails are scanned "just in case".
