Perfectly rational fears.

They're not pulling a Sweden and censoring politically incorrect truths.

This was fairly recent, as I understand it, SVT is the more "reputable" news source and they don't seem to be refuting any of the data. Shortly after the migrant crisis began, Swedish police stopped recording information about the ethnicity of perps.

Huh, what's the issue with those articles at all?

Sweden has laws how you have to handle personal information, a database like that would potentially breach that law.

It's basically like a smaller version of GDPR from the EU.

How is this governmental censoring?

You'd breach the same law if you made a database with people that like Nintendo games.

Jeez.
