They don't have to buy any politicians, you know. The annual turnover of Nokia is bigger than the whole finnish government's budget. When you're in that situation you don't have to buy anyone, you don't have to threaten anyone, you just need to hint that some legislature would be nice to have. And the law will pass.

That is just complete and utter bullshit. The law wouldn't allow the to read your mail either, they could only check who you sent it to. Which btw I think a company should be allowed to do. It's the company's email system, intended to be used as a tool to get your work done. WHY should the company not be allowed to monitor it? You have every right to your privacy, but you work is not private. Your tools are not meant for private communications, so don't use them for that.
