Is it normal for German Landlords to intercept internet traffic?
<p>After reading <a href="https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/136543/landlord-will-be-watching-my-data-traffic-as-mentioned-in-the-lease-agreement">https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/136543/landlord-will-be-watching-my-data-traffic-as-mentioned-in-the-lease-agreement</a> I was wondering if this realy is common in germany?</p>

<p>From the answer: </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>I would say that the restrictions are pretty standard for Germany.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Is it?</p>

<p>In a normal rental property, the tenant is in a contract with the telecommunications provider and landlord has no business listening to the communication.</p>

<p>When the landlord <strong>does</strong> provide internet access for tenants, he/she gets into a complicated legal position. The owner of the internet connection is generally liable for things like copyright violations, hate speech, etc. coming from that connection. This law predates open-access wifi connections and even the internet. Legislation and legal precedent are only slowly catching up with that new reality.</p>
