amen to the first.
to the second I am really torn. Our government has just about a month ago voted through a law (FRA law) which means that they can monitor all the internet and phone traffic crossing our borders which sure is an infringment in our liberties and it seems that lots of Swedes rather have the "safety" than the freedom to not have your government looking over your shoulder to see what the heck you are surfing/talking about.
I am personally 100% against a law like that. It is not really like I care if they knew that I am surfing the library or whatever but truth to be told they have no business knowing unless I am doing something wrong which I am not.
They claim that it has to do with monitoring Russias phone and internet traffic but it also affects every Swede and even some Danes and Norwegians and Finns. It is one ugly law.. kinda the Swedish version of Echelon if you catch my drift.
