"Blogosphere resistance against Internet Surveillance

Christopher Kullenberg September 18th, 2008

During the last few months there has been a critical debate in Sweden because of a law passed in June, allowing the National Defence Radio Establishment to monitor all Internet traffic. However, as a co-ordinated activity, a large number of bloggers started to form a public opinion through arguments, research and organisation. Right now, the government is facing a minor crisis, and the law can possibly be changed before taking effect on January the 1.st. Wiretapping Sweden has made a short documentary in English about the “blogosphere earthquake”, which is really worth seeing for those interested in the possible political consequences of digital resistance. It may be watched directly here, and downloaded in higher quality here. It features interviews with prominent bloggers, politicians, and activists. It is also aimed at an international audience, since this type of surveillance exists almost everywhere. " (http://resistancestudies.org/?p=341)
