Travis Brown is a name that you might remember, and if you do then you probably know exactly why Germany would be pissed if he has trouble going about business as usual.
After the BND's surveillance of foreign journalists was ruled illegal in Germany ( https://rsf.org/en/worldwide-mass-surveillance-germany-s-intelligence-service-declared-unconstitutional-landmark ), the BND started just laundering the activity: "It's not surveillance, it's research, and we're not doing it, just paying someone else to do it!"

I'll dig out my kid's crayons later if that explanation wasn't clear enough.
@ins0mniak@p@dj@ryan@lanodan Notice how they all laugh about taking away people's phones. They remind me of the line in Pink Floyd's song The Happiest Days of Our Lives...
