Sweden's Snoop Law Targets Russia

[Steve]

praps writes "There's been much controversy lately over Sweden's new law which allows the signal intelligence agency (FRA) to monitor all data traffic within the country's borders. The Swedish government has kept curiously quiet about the new law's objectives but sources close to the intelligence community say that Russia is the prime target. '"80 percent of Russia's contacts with large parts of the world travel through cables in Sweden. That is the core of the issue," said one source.'"

TorrentFreak has an article on what's going on, including massive protests and Google moving their servers away from the country."http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?f.../07/09/1930207
