Swedes Massively Protest Wiretap Law

[zatoicchi]

In June the Swedish parliament passed a controversial surveillance law that gives authorities a mandate to read all email and listen in on all phone calls without warrant or court order. In response to the law, The Pirate Party organized rallies, bloggers and journalists turned into activists, and even Google decided to relocate their servers.

The aftermath of the vote on wiretapping legislation has been turbulent, to say the least. Bloggers have not wasted a minute in their criticism, mainstream media eventually caught up and the newspapers are now running stories and editorials every day. Various viral campaigns have flourished along with grassroots activism and The Pirate Party has hauled full sails to catch the wind that will blow them straight into European Parliament during the elections of 2009

now nobody will use the telephone anymore and route all their mail through proxy/vpn :biggrin:

now serious, doesn't the goverment realize this won't do anything nor take them anywhere but it WILL violate people's privacy and make them a lot interested in how to avoid/bypass wiretapping...

also they were most likely already doing it, now it's just public

6.6 million emails were sent to the Members of Parliament

with all this people protesting the government should just drop the subject matters. if it was a voting year this thing would have not come about..
