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:
“When shot, the deer seldom drops immediately, but runs sometimes for hours, the hunter in hot pursuit. This phase, known as ‘deer running,’ develops fleet runners, particularly in deer- jacking expeditions when the law is pursuing the hunters as swiftly as the hunters are pursuing the deer.”
—For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
