Durchführung von "IP-Catching"-Verfahren durch Bundesbehörden in den vergangenen fünf Jahren

This procedure is a written parliamentary inquiry seeking information on how often and in what manner German federal authorities have used 'IP-catching' over the last five years. This technique involves identifying users of a service by capturing their IP addresses, which raises significant questions regarding surveillance and privacy. The outcome may affect internet users and digital service providers by clarifying the legal scope and frequency of state surveillance practices in Germany.
