It's still public, but now it is behind a login, and people can see who has looked at their tax info.

It's still public, but now it is behind a login, and people can see who has looked at their tax info.
- Nextgrid 5y agoOut of interest, what would be a socially acceptable reason to lookup someone's info?
- skinkestek 5y agoNow: next to none. Before: anything. Everybody did it if they had the slightest reason if my observations were correct. Just like I remember Norwegians taking a sauna (those who had) with friends or family or showering before swimming or after exercise at school, nobody thought about the fact that they were naked between peers it seemed. Today every kid complains about showering at school and everyone are very secretive about their income records. This is just observation, not judgement. I think there are good reasons on both sides of both questions even if I am conservative as few (not American "conservative", I just think it is smart to change society slowly and thoughtfully).
- Nextgrid 5y agoYes that was my point. When it was publicly accessible for everyone there wasn't a problem, but now that the information has to be explicitly requested (and the subject is alerted and provided the requestor's details) I was curious as to whether there were still any socially-acceptable reasons to request that info.

- orangepanda 5y agoLooking up colleagues' salary maybe?
