The Swedish FRA Law steals the headlines, but what is the situation of the Danish Surveillance Legislation?
From our unparalleled IT expert FRA stands for: Försvarets Radio Anstalt [Defence Force Radio Centre]
In Sweden, a new law on communications surveillance received massive media attention. Since it was proposed the law has triggered large demonstrations and was close to being rejected by parliament. Here you can see who and what should be logged according to Danish Legislation on surveillance. Comments are highlighted in red and small font. Who has to log? * This includes telecommunication companies and ISPs, but also, for example, cafés and hotels that offer Internet as a free service. * Libraries, educational institutions, hospitals and housing estates with fewer than 100 members are excluded. What is to be logged? * From mobile phones the numbers of callers and of called persons, time and duration of the conversations are registered. The ID number of the phone and data, from which mobile telephone relay the conversation is initiated and ends, are stored. Also the time of activation of an (anonymous) top-up card is stored. * The same applies to the sending of SMS and MMS messages. * As for e-mails the sender and the recipient as well as the time of sending and IP addresses of the computers are stored. * By internet use, IP-addresses and time as well as the MAC-address of the computer are stored. * Not all data are stored, for logging is carried out at random. Each 500 data package is stored. In Danish media the FRA Act is presented as though all internet and telecommunication traffic in Sweden is to be intercepted and stored, which is totally wrong FRA, Försvarets Radio Anstalt, is a civilian authority under the Defence Ministry with 650 employees and has two tasks: 1. Monitoring signals from foreign electronic traffic crossing Sweden's borders by air or cable. As most electronic traffic across the borders is sent by cable ( fiber, e.g.), the FRA Act was necessary, the FRA previously only being allowed to survey signals of electronic traffic by air (radio). Signals from radar, navigation and weapons systems are also included in the surveillance 2. To help the government and state enterprises when it comes to IT security. By attacks via the internet against governmental organizations, the FRA is responsible for the defence.
FRA conducts no independent intelligence service. Instead it performs tasks on behalf of: * The government Echelon Denmark, however, does actively participate in the Echelon, with a particular interceptor station on the island of Amager, which Anders "Slide" Fogh Rasmussen constantly denies. In this case, he is just as credible as when he constantly denied that the EU is a slippery slope towards more 'union'. The media are letting us down This is not to understand that Danish media are doing everything to bring erroneous information on the Swedish FRA Act, while steps are being taken to not inform on the crazy Danish terror legislation.
