The supposed "age of mass misinformation" isn't as big of a problem in Sweden as it is in the US. For one, test scores and reading levels indicate the average Swede is far better educated than the average American. Second, Sweden's media industry doesn't have competing private 24 hour cable news conglomerates fighting over eyeballs. In Europe, government financed media is more common, and thus there is not the same private incentives to drive fear and anger. Does Sweden has issues with misinformation? Of course (mostly around fear of immigrants). But they don't have anywhere near the problem we have in the US with misinformation.
