Turns out that i live in totaliarian state and that 1984 is already here.
Apparently the state welfare and work office here have gotten full access to all our internet history, cell phone location data, cell phone calls, isps email data and so on.
Every client in this state company has now zero personal privacy thanks to a law change that was passed behind the scenes.
Even police and our version of cia cannot get access to such data unless they first go through beuracracy and have a very good reason for it, like for example a murder case or other serious crime.
Not only do they have access to all this data, but they can go ahead and contast isp or cell phone provider and ask for log/data even without a reason. This can even be done by the lower level employers like your contact/case person.
Here is the article in norwegian: www.dagbladet.no/2010/11/20/nyheter/innenriks/nav/datalagring/14367972/
And here is a crappy google translate version: translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=no&u=http://www.dagbladet.no/2010/11/20/nyheter/innenriks/nav/datalagring/14367972/&ei=o5DoTLmIHcXrOeWE9f4M&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBsQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3DNAV%2Bhar%2Blov%2Btil%2B%25C3%25A5%2Bspionere%2Bp%25C3%25A5%2Bdeg%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DgH1%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26prmd%3Div
I honestly thought i was dreaming when i woke up this morning, but was sadly not the case.
Edit: Oh yeah... The reason this has been leaked is because they have already abused this to spy on their clients..
I wonder what other conspiracy theories that turns out be true or even worse than our worst paranoid fears like this case...
