Kolja Barghoorn wrote that he had reviewed the 102-page bill from the federal government on the "Law Against Digital Violence." In his assessment, the draft could enable courts to order the disclosure of names, addresses, phone numbers, and IP data for certain punishable statements without prior criminal conviction. According to Barghoorn, in the case of a serious violation of personal rights and an existing risk of repetition, an entire account could be temporarily suspended. Platforms should also prevent suspended users from opening new accounts; phone numbers and email addresses could be used for recognition. The draft also includes larger closed messenger groups without specifying a specific minimum number of members. According to Barghoorn, user data could already be secured legally before a final decision on their disclosure is made and transmitted to law enforcement agencies. Additionally, the refusal to provide a demanded penalty-bearing cease-and-desist declaration could also serve as an indicator for a possible account suspension. He acknowledged that the draft includes judicial reservations and further prerequisites. At the same time, he asked what could happen if the instruments were specifically used against uncomfortable critics to lift their anonymity and limit their reach. A democracy must also be able to withstand sharp, uncomfortable, and anonymous criticism, he wrote. #Digitalrechte #Meinungsfreiheit #Datenschutz (translated)

Blocktrainer wrote that the Bundestag rejected both a draft law from the Greens and a proposal from the Left to abolish the Bitcoin holding period. The Greens had proposed to tax crypto gains as income regardless of the holding period. The Left called for the taxation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like stocks, as well as subjection to exit taxation. According to Blocktrainer, the draft law from the Greens had already failed in the Finance Committee in May and is now definitively off the table. #Bitcoin #Kryptowährungen #Bundestag (translated)

The AfD faction in the German Bundestag rejected the draft law for the International Compensation Commission for Ukraine. The AfD Bundestag member Gerold Otten, a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, criticized the federal government for advancing international structures instead of focusing on diplomatic efforts to end the war. In his view, compensation issues should be part of a future peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia. Otten also warned against further financial obligations for Germany and pointed to unforeseeable long-term consequences of the commission. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul had announced that the German ratification process would be completed by the end of the year. Otten stated that Germany needed a foreign policy that upheld German interests, avoided further escalation, and pushed for negotiations to end the war. #Ukraine #Außenpolitik #Frieden (translated)
