Sweden approves wiretapping law

Sweden’s parliament has approved controversial new laws allowing authorities to spy on cross-border e-mail and telephone traffic.

Under the new law, Sweden’s intelligence bureau will no longer need a court order to begin surveillance, unlike the police.

Sad. And this will probably be used as a success story when the fearmongers start selling this kind of law to the Norwegian parliament.
