Earlier this week the Swedish stasi-government decided - against the peoples wishes - to wiretap all internet and telephone traffic in order to protect Sweden against threats. As you all know, being a neutral country makes Sweden a target for all the terrorists of the world, apparantly.
The wiretap law has been intensely discussed in the blogosphere and it’s very nice to see that people care about the subject. Interesting is also that Belgium decided to take Sweden to the Strasbourg court which I hope more countries will follow.
Many people have asked me what we’re planning to do - and the answer is “A lot!”. We’re going to help out in any way we can with fighting the law. This week we’re going to add SSL to The Pirate Bay. We’re also going to help out making a website about easy encryption - both for your harddrives and your net traffic. As some people know, we’re running a system for VPN-tunnels already and we’re going to lower the price for that as well and open it up for international users as well.
More stuff is planned - together with other people that work against the law we’ve talked about asking the international ISPs to block traffic to Sweden. Yes, that’s right! We want Sweden to be banned from the Internet. The ISPs need to block Sweden in order to protect their own customers integrity since everything they do on Swedish ISPs networks will be logged and searched.
One of the most interesting questions about all of this is that FRA bought the 5th fastest super computer in the world in order to handle the wiretap. But they bought it two years ago! It smells a bit rotten in my world to have that much confidence to buy a system like that without even a law passed that makes it legal to use it. Nobody discusses this issue, but I think we should dig a bit about it.
