Swedish ISPs To Thwart EU Data Retention Law

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-data-for-you dept.

aaardwark writes "After a leaked document from the department of justice showed police will be able to demand extensive private information for minor offenses, some Swedish ISPs have decided to fight back (translated article). By routing all traffic through VPN, they plan to make the gathered data pointless. ISP Bahnhof says they will give you the option to opt out of VPN, but giving up your privacy will cost extra."

    All that fresh air and clean water (and as much as I hate it, anti-alcohol-policy) had to be good for something. Little did I knew it would be common sense that would benefit. I'm not from Sweden but as soon as I can afford to be an alcoholic there I will immigrate to it!

    Yes, and kudos to Google's machine translation. It was actually a pretty pleasant read, the sentences made as much sense as the average /. reply.
