Big Brother Law, unconstitutional in Romania and Europe
The European directive regarding data retention is also in danger.
Snowden did a great thing, woke up the people in EU, hopefully he will manage that in US too.

Here, take this, hot off the presses:
Well, the last two I can understand, perhaps they even exposed some war crimes and human rights violations in Israel and US, but for the others it is probably just racial/religious profiling.
TWIMC. Situation on 'Net censorship is still worsening in Russian Federation. The "RosKomSvoboda" (site in Russian) (paronomasia on RosKomNadzor, the organization that performs 'Net censorship in RF) keeps people updated on new laws and laws projects threatening fundamental freedoms; it also offers channels to those actively opposing those laws.
Bah, it looks like Russia took snowden in to learn more about how to copy NSA He really is a traitor in this case, giving "the enemy" know-how about how to keep tabs on own citizens :P
Anyone wanna bet terrorism and child porn in russia will not diminish for this AND law&order will be more busy chasing people which protect their data more than just going after crime?
Dubious content migrates to Darknet, where it's unstoppable and can't be efficiently fought. C'est la vie.
Indeed, the concept is certainly not new and it is only an extension, but I am sure that NSA methods will be employed and possibly refined while surely adapted to local specifics.
Poor trolling from your side, I'd add.
All Big Brothers try to get one another's experience. I don't care who of them was first in what aspect (I assume our RosKomNadzor is using techniques used by China's GF), the problem is they grow in power very quickly.
Well, one should enlighten people wherever possible. There's actually no other way to make them return to reality and show how little privacy they have, in fact.
You're quite the propaganda machine aren't you (an anonymous one at that). Perhaps with your divine right to privacy and freedom of information you can conjure up a solution.
Sorry for my Martian. Total bullshit.
My recommendation is to go and learn anything real about Russia. Use something save mass media (including Wikipedia) for that purpose.
In case of you persist in your trolling: Russian people will most probably don't care of your badmouthing them. However, you are just sounding incompetent and rude. In case you do care of your reputation, of course.
That is true, to some extent.
The correct citing is: "Russian people will most probably don't care of your badmouthing them."
Generalizing, people in general don't care about anything. All the people of all the countries.
I assume you understand that fully and, as a person caring about democracy (Pericle one, that is - true democracy) you do all you can to enlighten those stuck in ignorance.
Good luck in your great endeavor (all applaud).
I don't know if that was serious or only in jest, but some interesting reading (yeah, wikipedia, it is surely biased against russians):

Women excluded means there is no democracy.

Too bad there's no constitutional court in Sweden. The politicians audit themselves and they are not interested in creating a constitutional court either.
From what I know you can go to european court of human rights which will uphold point 12 of UN human rights declaration. Thousands of romanians won there in many cases, from confiscated property to unfair trials and procedures, I am not sure ruling will be similar in cases of countries which are catholic or protestant or which were not under communism and wealtheir, but it might happen, we have seen the austrian authorities are afraid of it.
The European court of human rights can do nothing, except fine the "guilty" country and rule monetary compensation for the "victim" The compensations are in the ballpark of 10K Euro or so.
Indeed, but:
1. The compensation is over the the loss which the person suffered, not instead of. So you recover the costs and receive a compensation for the trouble.
2. It has an effect, laws have been modified and judges now know this can happen and will weight upon them, you have seen the austrians so eager to offer a plea to william so that he does not appeal. It is no fun to be named and shamed+fined and obligated to pay the victim.
On point 2 at least here, the one who is usually directly guilty for the wrong doing is not affected in any way. It's the country, i.e. the tax payers who pay the compensations. The government worker who did the wrong thing pays nothing and bears no consequences. So they dont' care and have no motive to improve.
Initially it was here too, but now with so many cases statistics are being kept and things investigated. At best you are not promoted, at worst they will find something during the investigations.
As for the state paying, yeah, it is true, however, the citizens do find out in a state which does not control all communications and does not keep tabs on what everyone writes, so, eventually, they will demand explanations.
You can be sure, though, that sweden is no more anxious than austria to sit near romania and bulgaria in the corner at the human rights court, it would set precedents and many people will go for racism and other issues,t hey dont want that.
In other news, if you are UK, you do not have to consider human rights and ruling on them because it comes from EU:
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-28237111
UK is about to come officially under "emergency" legislation, in case you havent noticed, there is a war and the pedophiles and muslims are launching rockets on downing street 10.
If UK goes as far as imposing emergency laws, it means they are scared. Keep up the pressure guys! Claw democracy and human rights back!
What is sad is that all parties agree. This means the secret services already have at least their leaders on file with something. They probably have at least a few judges and military people too, the country is run by them against the people. This is one of the problems with only a few parties, much easier to control, here the president at most managed to control 3 parties and only temporary, now had to make own and he got 6% in the last election, down from 10 in the referendum 2 years ago.
Perhaps this "legislative move" has something to do with the strikes, they might be afraid it will be harder to knock down the leaders of it and put the people back in the dens.
It's becoming very clear that all governments that aren't perfect exist for the sole purpose of oppressing their citizens for some as-yet unknown reason that will be uncovered in this week's issue of Weekly World News. Batboy suspected to be involved.
I think the reason is known. The latest crisis took governments by surprise, they did not expect occupy movements and, god forbid, even UK public sector strikes, they thought they put down the syndicates long ago, but it is proven not true, from athens to london, not knowing when and with who everyone communicated is going to be devastating, not to mention if people find out about atrocities and how are they treated from leaked cables and whatnot.
Today laws are made to shield the public government (transparency laws are having a very big problem) and to expose the private citizen, against even the semantics.
