In Berlin darf die #Ausländerbehörde weiterhin die Handys von Menschen ohne Papiere filzen, in Mails, Nachrichten, Fotos stöbern. Ein massiver Eingriff in die Privatsphäre. Inzwischen hilft dabei ein Tool, mit dem sonst Polizei oder Geheimdienste arbeiten. netzpolitik.org/2022/cellebrit…
Bekannt wurde das nach einer Anfrage von @nikschrader an den Senat. Bislang wurden 90+ Handys durchsucht. 58 Mal waren Ergebnisse unbrauchbar. 6 Mal hat es zu einer Klärung der Identität oder Staatsangehörigkeit beigetragen. Der Senat findet das "verhältnismäßig".
Dass die Behörde die Handys filzt, wussten wir aus einer früheren Recherche. netzpolitik.org/2018/handy-aus…

[Phone repair specialist arrested for possessing client's phone]

1. Upon release, I'd like to take opportunity to call attention to other unreasonable arrests. A phone repair shop owner was arrested in Sep for possessing clients' phones #NationalSecurityBureau claim suspicious. Image
2. Utterly unacceptable that he has been detained for weeks, although those phones don't even belong to him. His bid for bail was repeatedly denied. Before his arrest, he was reportedly harassed by cops after refusing service to #HKpolice to show support against #policebrutality. Image
3. Worse still, he may face graver charges if #police crack his clients' phones w/ phone hacking tools like #Cellebrite & find any suspicious conversations. He hopes his bail can be granted & #12hkyouths can come back safe.

After all, #Hongkongers hope he can be released soon. Image

[#HKers calling on #Cellebrite to halt selling phone hacking technologies to #Belarus] #standwithbelarus

1/ Phone hacking tech is one of the weapons abused by authoritarian regimes to stamp out dissidents, in particular, crackdowns on leaderless movements in both Belarus and HK.
2/ Solely in #Hongkong, throughout #hkprotests last year, #hkpolice has been using Cellebrite's hacking technology to crack at least 4000 #Hkprotesters’ phones without consent, with our private conversation used by authoritarian regimes for political purges.
3/ Recently, a group of Israeli human rights lawyers have found that the investigation units of dictatorship in #Belarus have been using Cellebrite's forensic system, #UFED Touch, to break the defence systems in smartphones.
