Welcome to Sweden. Public on day one.
- _zoltan_ 1y agocan you elaborate? this is news to me.
- diggan 1y agoGuess this serves as a good introduction: https://www.government.se/the-government-offices/the-government-offices-communication-activities/ https://www.government.se/the-government-offices/the-governm... > All communication in the Government Offices is based on the core values of transparency, factualness and comprehensibility, relevance and topicality. Public access and oversight shall characterise all activities. > The Government Offices' communication policy covers both internal and external communication. Sweden is generally pretty good at transparency, both regarding representatives and everyone else. For example, given a full name, you can get a person's address, telephone number, what cars and businesses they own, and even what their salary is, for better and worse :)
- wkat4242 1y agoOh that's pretty much in the worse book for me brrr
- tmikaeld 1y agoIt really is the criminals paradise, thus the record amount of shootings and rapes.
- boxed 1y agoRecord amounts of shootings... for the nordics. Compared to the US it's a rounding error. Anyway, that has to do with integration issues, not public data so you guys are way off topic.
- boxed 1y agoAnd yet it has worked extremely well for us since 1766(!).
- wkat4242 1y agoI just couldn't live in such a public society. Or such a restrictive one.
- boxed 1y ago> I just couldn't live in such a public society. It's a non-issue though. Americans seem super paranoid about this stuff, and yet when everything is public nothing bad happens. > Or such a restrictive one. err?
