Big Brother Awards (Germany)
- Big Brother Awards (Germany)
The Big Brother Awards (Germany) are the German version of the Big Brother Awards. They are awarded yearly to authorities, companies, organisations, and persons that have been acting particularly and consistently to threaten or violate people's privacy, or disclosed people's personal data to third parties.
The awards are intended to draw public attention to privacy issues and related alarming trends in society, especially in data privacy.
They are named after the George Orwell character of Big Brother from the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four where all persons are subjected to total and ruthless supervision in a totalitarian state supposedly controlled by that character.
