“Democrats are attacking Bahnhof: Protect the criminal”
“the Interior minister Mikael Damberg (S) is very critical to the internet service provider Bahnhof, which intend to appeal the new datalagringslagen.”
“– They must choose sides. Either you protect criminals, or to participate in the reaction against organised crime”, says Mikael Damberg.”
“In the week left the government over its bill to the riksdag on a new datalagringslag. It will replace the old one that was opposed by the EUROPEAN court of justice. The law forces the operators to store certain data and disclose them to law enforcement authorities.”
“The last act was disapproved after Tele2 appealed the decision to the court. The internet service provider Bahnhof intend to appeal the new law.”
“– It is clear that we are going to appeal even that here, said Jon Karlung, ceo of Bahnhof AB, to the TT on Wednesday.”
“the Provocative business model.”
“this responds interior minister Mikael Damberg strong.”
“– It is provocative if Bahnhof is making to its business model to protect those who commit child pornography or organized crime. This is for real, ” says Damberg to the TT.”
“According to the Bahnhof, the new law only cosmetic changes of the old.”
“Cosmetic changes”
“– this new proposal is just a cosmetic repetition of a proposal which already has fallen. We have already had this conversation where we in detail explained what we are critical of. The new proposal will not address the problems that came to light in the EU ruling, said Jon Karlung.”
” We are for targeted enforcement efforts, we are prepared to talk about, but not general data storage without brottsmisstanke,” he said.”
“Mikael Damberg think that the reasoning is illogical.”
“– How to access child pornography if you are not storing this information? It is not possible to know beforehand who is engaged in child pornography. It is just the point with the storage that you can access and identify the perpetrators, “says Damberg”
“– But if so, it is refusing to comply with Swedish legislation, as has the national Post and telecom agency different tools. You can decide on the penalty, but you can also ultimately revoke operator’s permission, ” says Mikael Damberg.”
“He has invited operators together with the relevant authorities for a conversation about the new law.”
“Location data, for example, a cell phone was present at the time of a call, shall be stored in two months.”
“Abonnemangsuppgifter at the internet access will be stored in ten months.”
“the Rest of the data, for example, who has talked to whom on the telephone, should be stored for six months.”
“the Obligation is limited, for example, excluded all communication that takes place within the fixed network.”
“the Data shall only be stored within the EU.”
“The introduction of requirements for examination by the public prosecutor before the law enforcement authorities may access to the stored data in intelligence activities.”
“the Ability to obtain information about certain systemhotande crimes in intelligence work be permanent and is complemented with two new offences: state-mandated corporate espionage, and the rough ill-treatment or unlawful detention in systemhotande purpose.”
“the Bulk of the proposals is proposed to enter into force on 1 October 2019.”
