A few days ago, we talked about the new Swedish legislation known as the Lex Orwell legislation that could turn Sweden into a sort of surveillance society. Now, ThePirateBay has recently joined calls to stop it.
The legislation in question would allow for the worlds fifth largest super computer to monitor its citizens though many forms including the internet. Many civil rights activists have condemned the legislation describing it as, among other things, "like wire-tapping without a court order" and "in breach of ECHR"
during our previous we noted that the administrators of ThePirateBay know all to well what it's like to be spied on. Now it seems as though the administrators are now taking a stand against the Orwell legislation.
