Finland passes unlimited internet surveillance law
- Text size
Uutiset
March 4, 2009
Parliament has passed the controversial reforms to the data protection law, the so-called “Lex Nokia” bill. The vote was 96 for, 56 against.
The hotly debated reforms caused arguments within the government coalition, but also caused a crack in the Green League.
Notably, three Green MPs who had previously voted against the bill abstained from the vote: Johanna Karimäki, Ville Niinistö and Kirsi Ojansuu. They were just three of the 47 parliamentarians who decided not to cast a vote.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The law allows employers and other organisations that provide users with Internet service and e-mail to monitor IP traffic data. In practice, this means that employers can see who workers are e-mailing, when the message was sent, and the size of the e-mails and attachments. It will not allow them to read the contents of e-mails.
Businesses say that this will allow them to clamp down on industrial espionage.
But opponents decry the measures as ineffective for preventing espionage, since any wily spy will simply use a personal e-mail account. They fear that the law will allow employers too invasive monitoring rights, such as watching what Internet sites employees access.

Yes, they’re already doing it, probably. The vote was just a “formality” to give you the illusion of still having a “free” country. Take care over there, friend!
March 4th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
I don’t believe people will “Repent, Unite & Resist”. They bible says, “All will have the Mark of the Beast”.

Not all will be branded. Perhaps those who stock up on valuable resources such as food, water, etc. will be able to survive. And definitely those that have gold will get through it w/o being chattled.

Lex Nokia is just confirmation the banks and corporations are running our politicians.
Their excuse that terrorist are using the internet and should be under full surveillance is not different than saying that terrorist drive cars and you should have a camera in your car too!!
Stop letting them confuse the boundaries of reality and real threats.
A car full of explosives is dangerous. A car is NOT!!!
BTW, Please take your money out of the Banks on MARCH 15TH, 2009.
Do it for a week or permanently before you cannot get your money!!
This is a peaceful protest of YOU exercising your rights and taking back what is yours.
You will have to do withdraws of 9k or less or else they will make you wait 15 days and stop you!!

oh, I see we have another hot fucking post of who gives a rats ass!
I know it is off the subject but, it has to be said!
We started the day with three Fema blogs, one of which was the GB statement.
All three were taking on many bloggers. Becks were the first to come on board.
All of a sudden the one of the fema blogs was removed. I made a comment how the second one would disappear and it sure did.
The only one left is the GB blog, I wonder if it will stay up?
Is Alex owned, I am sorry for saying it? But why the hottest topic would be taken off the board. How long do we have to read about cops beating up little girls? Not to mention the stories are old news.
Fema camps have been a big focus and concern for many of us. We know what they stand for!
Alex, tell the complete truth Reply:

Alex is part of a global network. His efforts are limited. He does censor. But he is telling the truth on this site.

InfoWars deletes comments I write and I thought I was on their side…. now I know there is a shadow censor Nazi stopping info. The “Info War” is on this site!! We are still being controlled even here!
Not right

I sat here for a few minutes thinking about what to write that would convince all who read it, that it is time we take things seriously, talk real solutions and stop being so distracted by all the news, videos and articles out there. The only thing that comes to mind is simply:

About Stewart & Janet
What religion are you?
The same as God-Mind.
What organizations are you affiliated with?
None.
Who do you rely upon to teach you?
Self, Oversoul, and God-Mind.
Are you vegetarians?
No.
Do you believe in channeling and other New Age information?
No, the “New Age” is a government disinformation program designed to keep people from finding the truth.
Are you both still programmed?
Yes. Most programmed people can never expect to be fully deprogrammed in the context of one lifetime, although we actively work on self-deprogramming.
Are you government agents?
If we were, we would not answer this truthfully, so it is a silly question to ask.
Why are you allowed to do the work that you are doing?
There have been many attempts to stop us. It is our mind-patterns that allow us to do our work. At this time, the Illuminati want people to know information about them to help bring them into the public eye.

Norway could be our last hope?
But legal freedom from big brother is only a dream.
Big brother will be a law for us slaves.
I’m not joking. I just don’t see any good for individuals in the future.
March 4th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
seems reasonalble….
From a network admin point of view..
March 5th, 2009 at 2:34 am
this is a crock of shit
the only solution here is to NOT WORK for companies who spy on you
the only problem here is that WE ALL WORK for companies who spy on us

If it only applies to employees using the employers internet then I don’t see a problem. Don’t use employer internet access for non employee related tasks – why would you, if you are working efficiently you should not have time for all that stuff. I mean, they don’t pay you to sit around sending personal email or making political comments on Infowars forums.
Why would anybody mind employers being able to access what employees are communicating on their behalf?
Really you should all know better by now and behave yourselves like good little slaves. Some of you guys will need some serious reprogramming once the NWO is more firmly established.

This is horseshit. It allows every instituion, inculuding schools, libraries etc. to monitor everything you do in net, inculding your messages on MSN Messenger or something like that.
Everyone, excpet private citizens, have the right to monitor anything you do on net. For example if you live in house that is the citys house, so you pay your rent to the city, and the rent includes lan acces to internet, they can monitor every single keystroke you make.
March 5th, 2009 at 7:32 am
you know what? im all for this. there are too many white collar assholes who goof off on the computer all day and get paid for it. You don’t like it? get a real fucking job!
March 5th, 2009 at 7:36 am
why the fuck shouldn’t your employer be able to see the “work” hes paying you to do??? People are all pissed off because they wont be able to play around on youtube and instant messenger all day. Aww poor little cubicle monkeys

If the 47 idiots who chose not to vote (obviously not thinking this is something they should be voting on in the first place) it wouldn’t have passed.
Kill thsese morons.
March 5th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Just a few more steps and we can all enjoy the fascist society we’ve been waiting for.
P.S. I’m so excited!

You mean young zombies; kids on prozac who, in addition to this, watch too much TV AND are hooked on fluoridated water AND aspartame AND mercury corn syrup AND are exposed to radiation from unmarked trucks transporting nuclear waste just to irradiate folks AND eat GM foods AND you get the point?
As a solution, the distinguished pannel of hundreds of scientists, think tanks and geniuses propose: unlimited internet surveillance. Bravo! Two Thumbs Up… [you know where].

How do you expect nations of zombies on prozac and all the stuff I wrote above to remember, anything, at all? So please.

Overreact much. I do not see a problem with a company monitoring it’s workers using the internet they provide.
March 6th, 2009 at 4:18 am
Here’s how to keep your communications private (email, websurfing, etc) despite any draconian surveillance:
Look up a free open-source solution called “Tor” learn how to use it. Yes, there’s a version for Windows.
Look up a free open-source email encryption solution called GnuPG or Open PGP. Again, Yes, there’s versions for Windows. Learn about who Phil Zimmermann is and what he came up with to protect privacy: http://www.philzimmermann.com/.....index.html
If you have the keys, the gov’t can’t open the lock.

The Finnish child with the gun was done with the help of the CIA/Mossad as in the USA
to have Finnish gun rights taken away.

Why are you censoring me again?
March 15th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
With all the support that the anti censoring movement has surly some sort of defence could have been put up in finland
