Netherlands Dragnet Law, Sleepwet Referendum, Internet Privacy
The Netherlands is implementing a "dragnet law" (Sleepwet) despite a public referendum where a significant portion of the population voted against it. The law allows intelligence services to tap directly into fiber optic cables at major hubs like the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMSIX). This move is described as a transition from targeted wiretaps to bulk data collection similar to NSA practices.
