Privacy Labels for iPhone and iPad: Google will take you time

Actually, Google is not lazy when updating his apps for iPhone and iPad – regularly there are updates with new features and troubleshooting. But since December, there is no more popular applications such as Chrome, Maps, Gmail, YouTube or Drive anymore. They remain on the old stand. At the Browser Chrome, the potentially could even result in the fact that the app has unknown security – the application was last on 23. Tested by Google, a little eternity.

Duty to more transparency since the 8. December

Many of the Google apps were last on the 7. December updated. This in turn is exactly one day before the official start of Apple’s freshly enforced duty to publish so-called data protection labels. The idea is more transparency. Apps are intended to provide users in the App Store preliminary information about what data is collected so that they can possibly refrain from downloadable.

The Group shares the privacy information in the sections "Data used to track your person", with the user "directly linked" as "unclear" Data on. In the area "Tracking" Must app providers disclose the potential creation of user profiles for advertising purposes, which combines the information collected in an iOS or iPados software with data from other apps or even websites and offline offers.

Google had already uplured

Previewed, Google Konne CONNE scanning his updates for Apple’s new data protection label, there was already at the beginning of the year. At that time, however, the Group shared, a plan to provide the own iOS app catalog with the data protection labels, such as a Google spokesman to a US medium announced. First Google software will start your data accesses in the next few days in label form. That’s exactly what has not happened so far. Instead, even two new Google apps appeared after the 8. December, which do not have the data protection labels. But they could also have stuck in Apple’s app review, so before the 8. To have been submitted in December.

Nevertheless, that the search giant also stops the frub still at the end of January and has not updated any of its most important apps. It is unclear what effects the importation of the data protection labels has downloaded numbers. However, you will be prominently promised by Apple – and not in fine print. Maybe Google’s privacy laws are known to be master of your subject, still in a vote process, what needs to be disclosed exactly.

As expected, the Bundesrat approved "marriage for all" this Friday. Nevertheless, the debate is likely to continue. Bavaria is considering going to Karlsruhe – a look at the religions also shows the spectrum of the discussion.

Actually the mass is read. After the Bundestag, the Bundesrat has now also given the green light for "marriage for all" on Friday in its last session before the summer break. Thus only the signature of the Federal President is missing and the law could come into force. Could – because the matter still has a catch.

The opening of marriage for gay and lesbian couples remains controversial in politics. Specifically, the question is whether the new regulation can get by without a constitutional amendment. The argument: the mothers and fathers of the Basic Law had unspokenly amed that "marriage" meant a union between a man and a woman. Bavaria is therefore considering a so-called standards control lawsuit against "marriage for all".

Alliance calls for court action

The alliance "Demo fur alle" (Demo for all) is also calling for the case to be brought before the Federal Prosecutor's Court. To that end, the initiative, which says it is non-partisan and non-denominational, launched an online petition Wednesday in the hope that the Free State will file a petition in Karlsruhe before the federal election in September. Both Protestants and Catholics belong to the alliance – the leaders of the two churches, however, positioned themselves differently in recent days.

The chairman of the German Bishops' Conference, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, reiterated the rejectionist stance of the Catholic bishops.

And added that he was counting on further discussion of the ie in the Federal Custody Court. There was, Marx said, echoing the speech of then-Pope Benedict XVI. in 2011 before the Bundestag, even in a democratic constitutional state points of reference "which cannot be decided by a majority" and "which cannot be left to so-called social progress". The latter may be correct most of the time, but not all of the time.

The Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) welcomed "marriage for all" in principle, but did so in a somewhat more codified form. Shortly before the Bundestag vote last week, the Council of the EKD spoke out in favor of a complete opening of the "legal space" for homosexual life partners, but added – probably with an eye to opponents of "marriage for all" in its own ranks – that on the question of the "design of a legal framework" there were "different receptions in the Protestant regional churches as well as in the worldwide church, which will continue to have their justification".

Different reactions from religious representatives

For the Orthodox Churches in Germany, the Greek Metropolitan Augoustinos, in response to a question from the Catholic News Agency (KNA), stated that they stick to the premise that marriage is "the union of a man and a woman". There are two consequences for community life, the president of the Orthodox Bishops' Conference testified. On the one hand, "we are aware that in pastoral care we will increasingly take care also of the homosexual people who exist in our Church," Augoustinos said.

On the other hand, the civil marriage of a homosexual couple cannot be ignored if one of the two later requests a church wedding with a spouse of the opposite sex. Lesbians who suddenly want to enter into an ecclesiastical covenant for life with a man, or gays who want to do the same with a woman – this case seems somewhat contrived.

Approval came, however, from the Central Council of Jews. "The political signal of 'marriage for all' could also contribute to a higher tolerance for homosexuals, which is not yet present in all parts of society," Central Council President Josef Schuster told the CBA. The Liberal-Islamic Federation expressed similar sentiments, saying it now also wants to advocate that homosexual Muslims can marry "before God".

This is unlikely to meet with much sympathy from the more conservative major Islamic associations. To a statement was ready despite several inquiries only Burhan Kesici of the Islam advice. His succinct statement: "We are following the debate. Islam provides only for marriage between a woman and a man. We continue to hold fast to this."

The Catholic Archbishop of Berlin, Heiner Koch, has expressed reservations about the so-called Kinderwunsch Fair, which is to be held for the first time in Germany. Not all wishes can be fulfilled.

Archbishop Koch commented on Tuesday to the Evangelical Press Service (epd): "I know about the needs of couples who want nothing more than to have a child together, and I take these needs very seriously". At the same time, he was impressed again and again by how intensively bioethical standards were being fought over in the legislature. "It is good that not everything is allowed in Germany that is medically possible and already permitted elsewhere," Koch emphasized.

Egg donation, surrogacy, sex selection ..

The first German trade fair "Kinderwunschtage" is in the coming week (18. and 19. February) is planned in Berlin. The event is controversial because it also presents fertility treatments that are illegal in Germany, such as egg donation, surrogate motherhood or preselection of sex. The fair is aimed at people who suffer from unwanted childlessness. Exhibitors include numerous foreign clinics.

In this context, the Berlin archbishop considers the term "desire for children" to be "problematic, because it suggests that we could fulfill all our wishes ourselves". "For me, a child is and always will be a gift," Koch emphasized.

"No right to parenthood"

Marcus Weinberg, family policy spokesman for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, also expressed reservations about the "Kinderwunsch Messe": "If something is banned in Germany, then it can't be that you advertise it," Weinberg told the "Berliner Zeitung" (Tuesday). "With all understanding and support for medically justified childlessness, there is no right to parenthood in which third parties are instrumentalized," the CDU politician said. Previously, the Berlin regional association of gynecologists had also expressed its disapproval of the "Kinderwunschtagen" (desire for children days).
