Blog Assignment #1 T2: Should the government know it all?


The Swedish government has in the latest years provided many legislative proposals that refer to increase bugging, surveillance and violation of integrity.
Among other things it includes bugging our phones and to be able to do house search without crime suspicion, to analyze the containment in all e-mail that are crossing the national border and to be able to store information about who we call, e-mail and text messing with. A lot of this doesn’t specifically turn to crime suspects but rather all of the population.
”Trust us, we won’t misuse the instrument of power”, this is the statement from the government to the citizens. Do they really deserve the trust they asking for? Do we really want them to get us registered because of our point of views? Do we want them to know which newspaper/magazine we are reading so they can ratiocinate us from that?

We already have a big brother society. Alright, we doesn’t need any implanted chips in order for the government to know exactly where we are or where we been. The invention is called cell phone! The cell phone is exactly controlled where it been, day and night through the year. Those who don’t have a registered cash card shall know that it isn’t a problem to find the owner anyway. Sweden doesn’t need a new law, the police have already today practically right to do house search. The companies must count on that all communication is being bugged. The government aren’t protecting the companies from this but rather supplement the possibility for espionage in Sweden. This lead to that foreign companies can’t have secrecy or research in Sweden.
Through velocity cameras and environmental tax cameras all car traffic are watched in and out through Stockholm. Together with the mobile phone surveillance it can be controlled if a certain car (person) is in or beyond Stockholm.
