Guess this serves as a good introduction: 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 :)

It really is the criminals paradise, thus the record amount of shootings and rapes.

Record 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.

And yet it has worked extremely well for us since 1766(!).

I just couldn't live in such a public society. Or such a restrictive one.

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?
