Look before you leap

It appears that the right wing parties has understood that they have
put both the left AND the right foot into their mouth with voting through
this FRA law, and now, Sten Tolgfors has jumped up on top of his soap
box and is claiming that since the vote is done, he is now the new alphamale.
or in light of this discussion, is that AlphaMail? Anyhoo, he is standing there
like another short little man did in the 1940s, and declaring that he will
take no alternatives. Doesn’t ring close to “Ich have das gemacht” to you?

Im just waiting for him to draw up an own little banner to hand out to
his employees that they are supposed to wear around their arms and
salute as if it was a flag. Ok, I am taking this to the extreme, I know I am
but seriously. If you cant take a debate wich is one of the foundations
of democracy, do you really deserve to have a post in the corridors of power,
should you really have the power to handpick your ex-wifes mailtraffic
just for the hell of it? Or, if someone is paranoid enough, expose peoples
sexual preferences due to your own homophobia?

Seriously, someone needs to keep this debate going.

I usually dont write in swedish but..

I really cant be arsed to translate both of these articles.
So, heres what Expressen has to say today.

Tolgfors: Inga kompromisser

Det blir inga fler kompromisser när tilläggen till
FRA-lagen ska klubbas i höst.  Det beskedet ger
försvarsminister Sten Tolgfors till Expressen. Därmed
nobbar han centerpartisternas ansträngningar för att
begränsa spionlagen.

– Det har gjorts en uppgörelse mellan fyra partiledare,
säger Sten Tolgfors.

I går berättade Expressen att en majoritet av svenska folket
vill riva upp FRA-lagen, enligt en färsk undersökning från Demoskop.
Statsminister Fredrik Reinfeldt tänker inte lyssna på den opinionen.
Han hävdar att integritetsfrågorna får tillräckligt skydd när
tilläggspropositionen om signalspaningslagen tas i riksdagen i höst.

Filar på kravlista
En rad centerpartistiska FRA-kritiker – med riksdagsledamoten
Fredrick Federley och Stockholmscenterns ordförande Per Ankersjö
i spetsen – filar nu på en kravlista med kompletteringar till
höstens propositionen.

Men försvarsminister Sten Tolgfors gör klart att han har kompromissat
färdigt.

– Det har gjorts en uppgörelse mellan fyra partier och fyra
partiledare om vad de kompletteringarna ska innehålla. D
et är det som är grunden för vad som kommer att ske i höst, s
äger han.

Dumheter, hävdar Per Ankersjö:
– Det är ett tag kvar, så jag tror att det är dumt att på
förhand låsa in sig i ett hörn på det sättet. Man måste
till hänsyn till den massiva folkstorm som har varit, säger han.
Ödmjuk och lyssnande
Han tillägger att han möter en ödmjuk och lyssnande inställning
från sin egen partiledning. Centerledaren Maud Olofsson har de
senaste dagarna hållit en låg profil i FRA-frågan, och var i
går inte tillgänglig för kommentarer.
Partisekreteraren Anders Flanking tillbringade kvällen i ett
möte med rebellerna i centeruppropet, som kräver att hela
signalspaningen ska bort.

– Vi tycker att man ska ta dialogen, och det är det som vi gör,
säger han till Expressen.

 

Tiefensee avfärdar expertens kritik
Expressen gör fel i att använda begreppet “avlyssna”,
hävdar riksdagsledamoten Roger Tiefensee (c).
Därför skickade han ut ett svar till alla väljare som
mejlat honom.

– Att använda begreppet avlyssning leder tanken fel, säger han.

Mer än sex miljoner protestmelj skickades via Expressen.se:s
formulär till de riksdagsledamöter som röstade ja till nya
FRA-lagen, Roger Tiefensee (c) svarade de som mejlade honom
och hävdade att ett påstående inte stämmer.

Han säger att begreppet avlyssning är fel att använda.
– Trafiken kommer att passera genom ett filter och scannas
av, men inte avlyssnas om det handlar om två svenska användare.
Då kommer det att raderas och därmed inte avlyssnas, säger
Roger Tiefensee.

Experter påstår att det är svårt att sortera ut trafiken utan
att öppna den. – Man scannar av flödet, men det är fysiskt
omöjligt att öppna alla mejlen, utan det blir som en fartkamera.
Att använda begreppet avlyssning leder tanken fel.
Men är det inte bara vetskapen av att sina mejl kan öppnas
som inskränker på integriteten?

– Det är en avvägning. Det är klart att det här innebär en
inskränkning i den personliga integriteten, men att det sedan även
handlar om vår säkerhetspolitik.

Better get to remember to place my alarmwords here, Im getting good stats from them 😛

Who pays for the governments mistake?

It is another day in the reich of sweden. Fuhrer Reinfeldt is still at the
helm of this vessel and from what I can judge, he wont go down
with his ship, he will shackle the rest of us to it and then get into the
only lifeboat there is to laugh while the rest of us drowns.

Ok, ok. I dont really have any hatred towards Fredrik Reinfeldt personally
but I really cant bring myself to agree with his politics, and well, up until
last month at least, everyone was entitled to an opinion.
Do I sound bitter? You bet. Remember what I said about things not
gonna be on my taxes? Well, they wont be, but they will come out
of my pockets nonetheless. The ISPs needs to pipe things to the FRA
and thats gonna cost a minor country’s gross national product.

How are the ISPs and the phone companies gonna finance that?
You guessed it. Higher rates. So, instead of moving technology
into evolution, we strike people where it hurts them the most, the wallet
and in doing so, we stagnate the technology, since without funding,
noone will develop new, faster things. And noone will be able to afford
these new, cool things when we all are addicted to this fad, as it was
referred to, by a multitude of ministers.

So, once again, we strike at the small people, but wait, this time we
also strike at the people that wants to aid the people by bringing fourth
new ways to do things. Cool huh?

Another thought. We have a lot of companies that really has the need
for secrecy. Screw privacy in this example, but, lets say that Ericsson
finds a new revolutionary technique for conducting phone calls, it will
revolutionize the mobile phone industry making them earn 4 times
the gross of what they usually do. They of course, have to send
this to Sony, in japan.

Wee .. its tapped by the FRA, some hackers gets it and sells it to
nokia/lg/motorola/whatever. Now dont tell me FRA cant be hacked.
Already names of their “top secret” spies have been revealed by ordinary
geeks like me. But, in the extension, that means that Ericsson loses the
dominant position it would have had, and the swedish nation loses
millions, if not billions, in taxes. Hows that for making a better tomorrow
for swedish companies?

A sidenote. Google will never place servers in sweden.
Due to the above mentioned.

Now, another sidenote, this time on a more humourus scale.

We all know that the word minister comes from latin, right?
Here’s the twist. Magister means “He who knows more”
Minister means ? 🙂

Do you know who this is?

Camilla LindbergThis my friends is a new fav of
mine. Her name is
Camilla Lindberg
And she was one of those
who voted No on the FRA
proposal. Sadly, the scores
to the right of her tells us
a story of defeat for the personal integrity and a victory
for the swedish government to
snoop around in our private mails that goes abroad, all chat connections
that isnt within sweden (and to be honest, that would be NONE since I dont know
of a swedish IM client) and they will store that data. Now, lets see how long
it takes for the FRA to get hacked and get information leaked out to the general
public. My hope is that it is VERY soon so that they understand that they will
be having a ticking bomb in their hands. Also, I am actually considering to
apply for political asylum in another nation such as Norway on the fact
that the government is “having me under constant surveillance despite
the fact that I havent done anything criminal and this is causing me severe
mental problems related to stress, wich may turn into psychosomatic health
problems.”

Do you think thats doable?

Anyhow, this Camilla Lindberg, although being from the right wing and I am not
has earned my respect. She went against the flow of her own party and voted
from her heart, every single flower and every single thank-you mail she has
got, she definetly deserves. My hat is off for you Camilla, and for the rest of you
that voted yes on the bill, I sincerely and utterly hope that all your personal
surfing habits, how dirty they may be, and your cyberaffairs gets to be public
knowledge soon.
