Norway is crazy but sweet. Edit: In fact salaries used to be even more public, printed out and left in public for review.

  What is it now? I'm guessing it's not on the web, which would be vastly more public than in printed form?

    Yep, but now whoever you check will receive a notice about who checked their salary. So basically nobody does anymore which is a shame in some ways. OTOH: Keeping everything wide open with no audit in the time of Internet and free access for East European criminals maybe wasn't the right way either. (E.g. you could plan a raid on rich old people based on electronically searchable archives.)

      Ha. That just reminded me of how I'm on a Texas gov page titled "Sex Offender Registry Export" because I once requested their sex offender database for academic research: https://records.txdps.state.tx.us/SexOffender/PublicSite/Application/Export/History.aspx https://records.txdps.state.tx.us/SexOffender/PublicSite/App... I don't mind since my name is so common, but I emailed the Texas agency that they should put a noindex tag to prevent the page from being used against people with less common names (you can register for the registry via what appears to be a system lacking verification).
