And then there are widespread amounts of identity theft and mapping out of minorities, but you may sleep well as everyone knowing where you do so is an important step in making sure corruption is no more, don't think too much about it.

Just a few years ago this was about to change in Sweden. But they didn't change it, because "women should be able to look up the men that they date".

  Oh yes. I'm Swedish and I do have to admit I have looked up quite a lot of people on these kinds of sites. It's become so normalised to do this even though I also feel like it would be better as a whole if they just did not exist in the first place. Last update I heard about something being done about it was this: https://www.regeringen.se/pressmeddelanden/2024/11/utredning-foreslar-starkt-skydd-for-personuppgifter-som-offentliggors-i-soktjanster/ https://www.regeringen.se/pressmeddelanden/2024/11/utredning... Not sure what the current status is.

      > You criticize these websites when they affect minorities, but you use them yourself to look up men. That seems inconsistent. This is very close to the "Yet you participate in society, how curious" mean, especially since they're implying they would vote in favor of a law that changes it so that the data is no longer public in the same manner. But then your comment history reveals enough about your intent.

        I live here so I can add my experience, thank you. Speak clearly, what do you have an issue with exactly in my comment history?

      >Why are minorities so protected? :) Because it's the law, and it's a good thing as governments and people tend to use violence against minorities. Don't like it? Move to a more racist country like Israel.

        Tidö have been going strong and are just starting to clean up our country. I hope they win again but I fear we have another disaster government next election. I have a job and money so I will not be personally affected but if the left wins MP and V will dictate and it will be 2015 all over again. I do hope their voters take the brunt of the damage up close and personal that is to come from their own votes to this country.

        Going strong on what exactly?

        NATO status acquired. S was controlled by V and MP on this and was so-so. We see it now with S complaining about the governments talks with France over their nuclear umbrella. (Call her she is crying https://www.tv4.se/artikel/3GXfcuT7u8zm5ApyIJ4Z8b/andersson-kritisk-till-kaernvapendialogen-med-frankrike https://www.tv4.se/artikel/3GXfcuT7u8zm5ApyIJ4Z8b/andersson-... ) Something I also support this government on. Redirected grants from lesser nations to Ukraine with the biggest aid package ever to Ukraine explicitly stating that it is a top priority. So overall, prioritizing EU and Europe. Inflation was 12% now down to 3% Largest increase in military spending since the Cold War, this is the new Europa. A paradigm shift against organised crime, with tougher penalties, substantial resource increases for the justice system, and expanded tools for police and prosecutors. Shootings especially have decreased, there was 0 in January 2026 (or maybe they just stay inside because of the weather xD) Another paradigm shift but in Migration: They have implemented the strictest migration reforms in Swedish history, leading to the lowest asylum-related immigration since 1985. Implemented a sharp tightening of migration policy in the first 100 days: increased internal checks on foreigners by about 25%, intensified work on returning people without residence rights, expanded detention capacity, and launched information and analysis efforts on voluntary return. Cut the annual refugee quota from around 5,000–6,400 to 900, presented by the government as delivering on the promised “paradigm shift” in asylum and migration policy. Reddit is crying about this ofc. But again, 100% support from me on this.
