as our social life makes more and more use of digital communication, it must have the same protections as a face to face conversation in my home.
in germany wiretapping is only allowed for serious crimes and home surveillance is even more restricted.
in other words if digital communication gets the same protection as home surveillance then you can just use that home surveillance or try to install a listening tool on the persons phone. if home surveillance is not possible then why should digital surveillance be any easier?
