After the premiere of our web documentary about the new wiretapping law in Sweden the turbulence didn’t stop, at first it looked like it might, but then it didn’t.
First there is a modified version of the law that is supposed to take peoples integrity into consideration. For instance the Swedish National Defence Radio Establishment now needs to go through a court to be able to listen in to a persons Internet traffic. But the resistance isn’t happy with the new modified law and still demands a reboot and wants the parliament to start over.
There are still many questions remaining to be answered regarding the new version of the law. We will write more about this in the near future, so keep an eye on this blog.

We sent an email to Google’s Sweden office to see if the Swedish CEO would like to say something about the Swedish wiretapping bill. Last year Google criticized the Swedish government for pushing forward with this law.
That’s why we wanted to give Google a chance to say something about this in the web documentary. But they chose not to.
In January 2009 Swedish authorities will start wiretapping all Internet traffic (plus telephone connections) in and out of Sweden. This means that they will not only listen in to all Swedish citizens communication but also sometimes the rest of the world since Internet traffic travels without borders.
There has already been an uprising among young Swedish Internet users, but the whole world needs to see what is going on. That is why we at Urban Lifestyle decided to make a web documentary about this, and this is the blog where we will keep you updated and we invite you to be a part of it. Give us your point of view and let us know which people we should interview for the documentary.
