Austrian government plans surveillance of WhatsApp, Telegram messaging apps

The Austrian government has introduced a draft law to increase oversight of messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram, aiming to aid law enforcement in monitoring potential terrorist and extremist activities. Interior Minister Gerhard Karner stated that police currently lack visibility into the actions of such individuals on these platforms, highlighting the need for specific measures that would only apply to a limited number of cases annually. Access to messaging services would be granted only in situations that suggest terrorist-related or constitution-threatening activities. The initiative received support from State Secretary Jorg Leichtfried of the Social Democratic Party, who assured that it would not lead to mass surveillance. However, there are concerns from the liberal NEOS party regarding the proposal, indicating the need for further discussions. An eight-week review period has been established for the draft law, during which the involved parties will engage with each other.
