I need to pinch my skin every now and then during this process where we are moving into a less civilized community. Why do we need wire-tapping in Sweden? Who has created the threat scenario? Where are the evidence? Top secret issue of course...
Reading last night (http://klamberg.blogspot.com/) about the details of how FRA wire-tapping will function I am even more confused. Can it be reasonable to spend 100´s of millions on hardware and computer analysts to tap people´s chat/mail/other communication routes on the traffic that is crossing the Swedish borders?
Why is this less civilized? I think that any society that has a need to check what ordinary people are doing or discussing has lost something essential. This essence is created of freedom of speech and a free will, to be able live your way of life. But now there is an overwhelming care from our government to protect us? From what? When we sentence criminals, then it is the free will and ability to communicate with others that is restricted and reduced. You can get the witness from those who get released from long sentences that the worst thing with it is getting your life restricted. Our overprotective government will now introduce this by starting to analyse our communications. Civilization must depend on people´s trust on each other and that our ordinary legislation and enforcement authorities will be enough as protection.
We have gone a long way to get where we are. Our grand parents and their parents have built our society of today and we should be proud of it. Why make it to a dead end?
