FRA Law
On 18 June 2008, The Swedish parliament passed a law called the FRA Law which allows for Swedish authorities to monitor all communications passing through the country's borders. Since most communications in Sweden pass through its borders at one point or another, this monitoring in practice affects most traffic within Sweden as well. This law became effective on 1 January 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word law:
“For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
