* Sweden approves wiretapping law (The Beeb) [1]
* Wiretapping Bill Passes Swedish Parliament, 143 to 138 (/.) [2]
* Internet Wall of China,… around Sweden! (Reddit) [3]


It was rather disturbing to read that Sweden passed an extensive wiretapping
law (Mayday Mayday! Internet Wall of China—around Sweden!) [4] the other day.
And here I thought only totalitarian [5] regimes [6] and stupid knee-jerk

Guess stupidity knows no bounds.
