Yes, there is. The BND is the German federal intelligence service. As Germany is a close US ally, the intelligence agencies of both countries are known to cooperate. For example, the NSA has invested some efforts to spy on people living in Germany, and they've had the BND's help with this. We're not speculating about this. In 2013 a BND officer got arrested for providing secret information to the NSA. A few weeks later, WikiLeaks published many documents illustrating the nature and dynamics of the cooperative efforts between agencies. Expert observers estimate the BND to collect about 220 million metadata sets daily. So, despite being one of the most individualistic and free countries globally, the German government does carry out internet surveillance to the highest degree.
