The New Development of the Federal Intelligence Agency's Outside Communication Strategic Surveillance and Its Oversight in German
[Research purpose]After the revision in 2016,the German Federal Parliament revised the Federal Intelligence Agency Act a-gain in March 2021.It takes a completely different stance from the United States regarding the collection of foreign intelligence by intelli-gence agencies.Studying the new developments in German Federal Intelligence Agency's outside communication strategic surveillance and its oversight mechanism can help grasp the latest trends in mass intelligence surveillance and oversight constraints outside the region.[Re-search method]The research systematically sorts out the outside communication strategic surveillance and its oversight mechanism through comparative analysis and normative analysis,conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the new progress of the system through rational think-ing methods.[Research conclusion]The revised Federal Intelligence Agency Act in 2021 is based on the extraterritorial effects of the Basic Law,and reconstructs the outside communication strategic surveillance system from aspects such as monitoring purposes,specific reasons,prior approval,processing and retention of collected data,special data protection,and supervision mechanisms.The differentiated legislation based on the extraterritorial effects of the Basic Law has legitimacy and rationality.However,there are still controversies regard-ing the implementation of proportional principles in systems such as suitability tests and volume limitation.
