It was rather disturbing to read that Sweden passed an extensive wiretapping law (Mayday Mayday! Internet Wall of China—around Sweden!) [4] the other day. And here I thought only totalitarian [5] regimes [6] and stupid knee-jerk reactionary Americans [7] did that sort of thing.
Guess stupidity knows no bounds.
