Swedish MP - FRA Suspected of Already Beginning Surveillance Program
Date : 2008 06 11 Category : Web News
Following a seemingly global trend towards total surveillance, according to Swedish MP Max Andersson, the FRA is suspected of starting up their surveillance program without parliamentary approval. The news comes during a time when privacy is increasingly becoming a hot topic among the Swedish.
AT&T didn't wait for regulatory approval, the German ISP Deutsche Telekom didn't seek any go-aheads and Phorm certainly didn't wait for any green lights either. Now it seems that, according to one Swedish MP, Defence radioanstalt is suspected of not even bothering with democratic approval (Google translation from Swedish) before commencing their national surveillance program.
The news comes during a time when the 17th of June is surveillance D-day for the Swedish to stop the FRA law from passing.
