But it's okay. We've already been tapping your phones for decades anyway.

So sayeth the Swedish government to its people.

They're not only going to monitor the Swedish phones, but, for example, all telecommunications that go through Sweden... Which would include a majority of the telecommunications that goes from Finland to abroad.

The stuff about "we've always been doing it" is interesting... So it is not just some lunacy devised by their new right wing government? Anyway, I don't see how the terrorists and the criminals can be so stupid that they wouldn't encrypt their messages...
