There's quite a story making the rounds, suggesting that Nokia is putting
significant pressure on the Finnish government, demanding that it pass a
law allowing it to spy on its employees, or the company will leave Finland.
Nokia is quickly denying the claim, which does seem pretty extreme.
However, that doesn't mean that Nokia hasn't put political pressure on the
government to pass this law.

Apparently, the company has been caught multiple times illegally spying on
employees, and has worked hard to get this law passed, which would legalize
its actions. Despite legal experts all insisting that the law is
unconstitutional, apparently the Finnish Parliament's Constitutional Law
Committee has decided to move forward with it anyway -- which is what
resulted in the speculation about the threat to leave Finland.
