torrentfreak.com — Despite public protests both online and on the streets of Stockholm, the Swedish parliament has voted in favor of a new “wiretapping” law which invades the privacy of its citizens by allowing the government to monitor web traffic and phone calls, without the need for court orders or similar authorization.

:'('''''''''''''''''' This is horrible. Google even said that they would not build any datacenters in Sweden if the bill passed. Hopefully something can be done about it.

Despite the fact that there were many so called "libertarians" in the parliament, none of them stood up and voted against this law. Really, really sad...

Definitely a step backwards to 1984.

Thanks to the internet, corruption, greed, fear, etc. your privacy is dead, your rights are gone and you will never get them back. The worst part is that you will accept it and you will like it. Subservience is a bitch.George Orwell says "I told you so."

Shocking - another socialist country gone authoritarian.Looks like they're following in the footsteps of their great socialist brothers - Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and Mao.

Then encrypt the hell out of everything and force them to spend as much money and time decrypting your stuff as possible.Bonus points for wasting their time with useless stuff :)

The price for liberty is eternal vigilance.A piece of wisdom the United States was given at the start...Perhaps we will have something to give the world yet...though we'll have to clean out our own regime first.

To clarify, NWO is here because censorship, wiretapping, and all this stuff is starting to happen everywhere. Corporate rule (aka global economy) is what is happening here. This is not strictly a USA thing.
