The debating and protesting is still going strong in Sweden about the newly passed mass surveillance law (dubbed the “FRA-law” after the organization that will do the monitoring).

Now some of the largest privately owned telecom and IT companies are joining the critics and writes

“… The concerns outlined above have already had very real consequences for Swedish competitiveness. Sweden’s position as one of the leading knowledge and IT nations is under threat regardless of whether or not the Prime Minister believes that the law has been misunderstood.

Few dispute the need for a functioning information intelligence agency, but the damage caused by the signals intelligence law will have severe implications for Swedish industry. Why should Sweden have the most far-reaching information intelligence legislation in Europe, and possibly the world? …”

in a recent debate article.

When will the politicians start to listen? The Swedish people wants their human rights untouched!
