Thanks for the more sane perspective on this. I was like "wtf" when I read this article. As a Swedish citizen, the article got me a bit worried.

  Unfortunately, this "wtf" should cover a large part of the news we read. However, here the thing is that the discussion in Finland is about "following the Swedish model", because in Sweden the FRA (Försvarens Radioanstalt) has permission to do things that the corresponding Finnish authorities would like to get.

    Yep, and before the "FRA law" they were almost certainly already doing the same thing, just illegally.

      No need, they probably just have to call their friendly neighbour.

  Yes, if this proposal were to go through (hopefully not), it would give Finnish authorities roughly similar powers that the corresponding Swedish ones already have. One can always hope that the Finns will reject this dumbfounded proposal, giving an example to the Swedes to repeal their corresponding law.

  Finnish traffic goes through Sweden so this is already happening
