Update: Wikileaks tweets that bill has been passed through parliament and made law

The vote was supposed to be done on the 15th. Wikileaks have tweeted that it was voted for today (the 16th) and passed, but we need a reliable source. Quickest way would be for someone who speaks Icelandic to find local coverage. Gregcaletta (talk) 09:39, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Potential Misuse of IMMI?

I'm wondering if there's any way this can be misused? Could it be used as some kind of way of aggregating information on innocent people, do you think it will be used for data-mining purposes either directly or indirectly (Through third parties)? I'm asking this because it is generally my assumption that if something looks too good to be true, it often is, as well as the fact that I generally operate under the principle that if two things can happen; one good, and one bad; the bad one will happen AVKent882 (talk) 14:12, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prehaps. We will have to wait and see. If you can find any significant comments about potential misuse of the laws then we can include it in the article. However, if you want my personal prediction, I believe the benefits for Iceland will far outweigh any potential drawbacks. One major fear people of reforms like this is that is could genuinely threaten national security, but I believe this fear is highly exaggerated and not supported by the evidence. For example, many things are classified by the US Government, under the claim that their release would threaten "national security", but we can see from many of the documents that have been leaked, such as the collateral murder video, that they are classified instead because the are bad publicity, not because they threaten national security. Coorporations on the other hand don't even have to make the claim of "national security" to keep things secret, but journalists can still be punished for reporting on corruption as in Thomas Drake's case. In Iceland, this is particularly relevant. Their entire economy collapsed due to corruption in banks, which journalists were not allowed to report on and whistleblowers were afraid to provide evidence. Under the new laws, the same kind of economic crisis could be avoided, while I think privacy of individuals is still protected. Gregcaletta (talk) 04:18, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So is it a law, or what?

The article says IMMI is a "parliamentary proposal", yet to be passed into law. But it already passed parliament unanimously. What else needs to happen, and is that expected to happen, and if so then when? Sonicsuns (talk) 08:34, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's now law. I'll change the wording. Gregcaletta (talk) 01:23, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then why did a recent Forbes article state that IMMI "has yet to become law?" [1]Sonicsuns (talk) 08:27, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
