Im Wahlkampf wird man ja mit einer Menge dusseligem Zeugs belästigt, das vorzugsweise wohl lieber nicht gesagt worden wäre. Und der Innenminister konnte es sich wohl nicht verkneifen auf einer Wahlkampf-veranstaltung in Bremen etwas Internetausdrucker-Romantik über ein Mikrofon zu erbrechen.

mSpy is a service providing surveillance capabilities to private citizens for mostly mobile devices...phones. The software can track movement, phone calls and a couple of other things. What you'd expect from such a software. It's mainly advertised for helicopter parents and employers.
