German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday that Germany must allow security services to use the Internet to track terrorist suspects’ online movements.”It can’t be that we create a space in which terrorists are completely safe and the state can’t enter it,” Merkel said in reference to the Internet at a conference in Berlin.Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, a member of Merkel’s Christian Democrats, is pushing to get clearance for Germany’s Federal Crime Office (BKA) to carry out online searches.
