Debate in Swedish parlament today about FRA – law
translation: a Swede keeps his mouth shut, ” she / he didn´t talk about things” concerning the security of the officially neutral country ( poster from the second world war years when the Swedes were encouraged to be careful when talking to strangers) . SInce then the meaning of this phrase has changed to the more ironic ” a Swede do not oppose to anything, a Swede is loyal to the government and the state”.
FRA is the institution dealing with signal scouting for the safety of the Swedish state. this signal scouting will be used – in accordance to the suggested law – for all private mail and cell phone traffic without any specific suspicion against any person.
