There are implicit assumptions one makes in daily life.
When I am driving, I have to assume most people will not drive intentionally to harm others.
When I walk in the the street I have to assume that not every stranger will try to stab me with a knife.
When I make personal information freely avaiable online I have to assume that others will not abuse that info to hunt me down in my home.
Once these assumptions no longer prove tenable I (or Swedish society) must change my behavior. Drive defensibly or as little ad possible, walk outside only where there are police, avoid dangerous individuals, take down my personal info.
All the above have consequences for society of course. Less economic activity, less personal interaction as people hide themselves, etc.
