Total surveillance via 5G and Wireless Lan technology

Total surveillance via 5G and Wireless Lan technology

08.05.2019

The coalition agreement of the German federal government stipulated that all cities should be converted into so-called “smart cities”. At the core of this is the redesign of urban life and urban infrastructure using technologies such as 5G and Wireless Lan. These Smart City plans received the Big Brother Award this year. Accord- ing to the founders, the Big Brother Award is given to authorities, companies or organizations that infringe on the privacy of individuals or make personal data available to third parties. So, the Smart City concept of the federal government is advertising for the “Safe City”, the sensor-paved, totally monitored, remote-controlled and commer- cialized city. By doing so, Smart City has two main aspects: The industry wants the data for the purpose of consumption control and production planning and the states organs for the political control of society. In the coalition agreement of the federal government dated February 7th, 2018, data protection was repealed with the following wording: “We aim to enshrine the free movement of data as the fifth dimension of free movement.” Will the totalitarian surveillance state become reality, according to George Orwell’s book “1984”?
