First, Dr Stefan Brink and Prof Niko Härting (00:33) discuss the new data deletion policies for the Siri chat function (Apple) and the WhatsApp messaging service (Meta).
From minute 09:59, the decision of the Lüneburg Administrative Court of 29 April 2026, ref. 1 A 85/24, is discussed. The town of Buchholz had published a call for a demonstration against right-wing extremism. The AfD was also mentioned in this context. The local branch of this party unsuccessfully challenged this.
Last but not least (20:25), Niko and Stefan discuss the recently published activity report by the Federal Data Protection Commissioner. From minute 29:10 onwards, they highlight in particular the sections on surveillance by the intelligence services. Does the BND have a flawless deletion routine?
