Sweden pushing definition of open net?

Sweden is probably not the first country you think of when discussing "open net" and other internet issues. You may actually think of Sweden as a pioneer in internet freedom with many famous and infamous websites either created or currently hosted in Sweden, The Pirate Bay and WikiLeaks being two of them. However what you might not know is that just a couple of years ago Sweden also created a new law, called the FRA law. The FRA law is significant because it is one of the first of its kind in a democratic country. The FRA law has some things in common with the US Patriot Act but basically what it does is "gives the government agency Swedish National Defence Radio Establishment (FRA, Swedish Försvarets radioanstalt) the right to conduct signals intelligence on - to intercept - all internet exchange points that exchange traffic that crosses Swedish borders, though experts argue that it is impossible to differentiate between international traffic and traffic between Swedes." (Wikipedia) So the swedish government can surveillance any of it's citizens and even outside the swedish borders (which is one of the core issues with this law). There has been a public outrage about this new law and it has been accused of violating personal integrity but as of today it is still in effect. It has been a hot topic in media and among bloggers and social activists in Sweden. A good example of that is that people even created a "FRApedia" to make it easier for the public to easily understand this new law.

There is some more reading about the law under "Security" on this page on the opennet website, and also on this civil rights website. USA Today also wrote about it.

For me this is a pretty hot topic and I am not sure what I think... Where do we draw the line when we want to keep us safe from terrorists and criminality?
