Sweden to give police and others realtime access to citizens' phone, email, more

http://j.mp/I67Qnu  (Falkvinge)

   "Swedish citizens will get all their phone calls and e-mail traffic
    wiretapped in real time not just by the Swedish NSA branch, but also
    by police, customs, the tax authority, and others. These plans were
    revealed today by the Ny Teknik magazine, sending shockwaves among
    civil rights activists. This follows a previous law change that gave
    the Swedish NSA branch, the FRA, realtime access to all Internet
    traffic that crossed the country borders - effectively wiretapping
    everybody warrantlessly all the time."
