You still haven't presented even a weak argument for how it infringes on privacy.

You just said "privacy" and pretended that's an argument

There’s not a lot of privacy ins Sweden anyway. Way too much private stuff is public and continuously scraped by private companies.

For those who don’t know: by just looking up a name, you can find a persons birthday, address, who also lives there. Oh and the person’s salary is public too.

Ridiculous.

I think it's awesome!

Try lying about your wealth during an election in Sweden!

Did trump's tax filings ever get published by the way? I recall there was a lot of outcry for them during the last election cycle........

NB I was calling out your weak arguments. I wasn't attempting to do something that isn't my job ;)

For countries introducing digital ID etc, it's for the advocates to present a strong argument and evidence how it will respect privacy, how it will remain secure etc beyond "trust us bro" and "I can't see how it wouldn't be secure"
