"Best var tidigare helägt av den vitryska staten men köptes 2009 till 80 procent av den stora turkiska operatören Turkcell. Övriga 20 procent av bolaget behöll Lukasjenko. I Turkcells styrelse sitter en man vid namn Tero Kivisaari. Han representerar Teliasonera, en av Turkcells största delägare. Och Teliasoneras största ägare är – den svenska staten."
Gör företag det som en standard utanför våra gränser, lär de även göra det här. det talar en viss erfarenhet av hur det i praktiken fungerar. Ett exempel är hur NSA och IT&T [Wired], samarbetade för att massövervaka kunder. Telia Sonera är ett av de viktigaste kabelägarna i väst, där en synnerligen stor del av östblockets trafik passerar via Telia Soneras kablar. Det gör företaget unikt, som en av de största och viktigaste hubbarna i västeuropa. Sverige utgör därmed en till USA mycket viktig del i cyberkriget [Scrawford] [DN]. Det får vi inte glömma när vi talar om övervakning och hur den svenska staten agerar mot oss medborgare. Då är det betydligt trevligare för en statsmakt, att kunna kontrollera hela ledet. Myndigheter och departement, de snubblar gärna på målet för att kunna slira på sanningen och kunna backa om det visar sig utåt att de gör just det.
Det finns en hel del att säga över ett sådant beteende, i det här fallet var det infrastrukturdepartementet och telekompaketet. Ett direktiv som bland annat ska styra våra nätanslutningar och upphovsrättsligt material [Farmorgun] "Lagenlika applikationer och lagenligt innehåll". Är något vilket det direktivet innehåller och styr, för att kunna låsa ned vår anslutningar vid behov. Det blir svårt att anförtro våra myndigheter och departement, med en sådan politisk agenda bakom [Farmorgun]. Företag som Apple kan även de styra, inte bara i USA utan även här hemma. De kan styra via sin hårdvara och den policy de utövar över Apple appstore. Apple kan när de vill låsa ned en iPhone, för de kan styra över användarna och styra över vad som får användas på den. Det påverkar de som vill kunna leverera en iPhoneapp, som nyhetsföretag och nyhetsförmedlingar. De måste åtlyda Apples normer och regler, för att bli godkända. Det innebär i praktiken att alla måste åtlyda Apple. Vad det öppnar upp för är en utökad kontroll, av vad användare och distributörer gör. Apple stoppade Wikileaks för iPhone, vad kan det få för vidare konsekvenser, det är något vilket vi alla måste ta oss en funderare över [Nätneutralitet] [Guardian]. Men inte minst över den framtid som kommer, som är den vi får och ingen annan. Hur vill du se din framtid? Det börjar bli dags att välja den redan nu, än är det inte för sent. Det måste höras ända in i det svenska folkhemmet, där inte mycket finns av lyssnande annat än till den egna plånboken. Vi måste alla inse vad som gick så fel, att det är så lite tid. Men vi måste alla inse det och lära av historiens misstag, det är inte längre tillbaka än 60:år sedan. Vill vi ha det tillbaka?
Intressant.
