EU German Ministry of the Interior agrees to EU plans to monitor private communications without cause

Translated from here.

The state reads along

Faeser prevails: mobile phones are monitored "without cause".

The interior minister supports EU plans for mandatory scanning of private messages. In doing so, the government is breaking a promise.

​

BERLIN/BRUSSELS. In a joint statement to the EU, the federal government approved the monitoring of private communication, such as e-mails and WhatsApp chats. This emerges from the paper published by netzpolitik.org . The SPD, FDP and Greens had rejected such measures in the coalition agreement.
There it was still said: "We reject general monitoring obligations, measures to scan private communication and an identification obligation." This promise no longer applies. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD), who has long insisted on monitoring private mobile phones and computers, has now sent a "common position" on traffic lights to the EU, in which the federal government does not object to spying on citizens.

Faeser also agrees to "blocking the network".

It is primarily about the fight against sexual abuse and child pornography. Because of this danger, the EU Commission wants to oblige the tech giants to scan and monitor the communication of their users "without cause" and obligatorily.
So far, providers such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Google or Apple have only been allowed to do this as a "temporary exception". According to a planned EU regulation on the prevention and combating of sexual abuse of children, this is now to be tightened. The FDP in particular had firmly rejected this and insisted on the coalition agreement. But she couldn't prevail. Now that the new regulation has come into force, the state can read along practically everywhere.
Faeser also agreed to so-called "network blocks" on behalf of the traffic light towards the EU. This means that users can no longer access certain websites. It should now also be possible to block certain IP addresses. This means that specifically selected users can be kept away from Internet sites. So far, the federal government had taken the position of "deletion instead of blocking". (fh)

This is an insane violation of privacy! I mean I won't probably be able to do much about them spying on me, but I'll get a VPN asap now!

This is apparently based on an EU-initiative, but with how all that is entangled it's probably like looking for what came first, the hen or the egg.

Honestly, at this point I'm really eyeing my eastern neighbors in the hope that somewhere some "goods" from Ukraine find their way back here. This country is going down the shitter.

This is like with the Restrict Act in the US, it's just seeking to legalize what they are already doing.

Oh fuck you. As @Yinko pointed out this is no different to stuff going on in other Western countries; they’re just trying to legalize what they’re already doin.
