For anyone not reading the article:
"[In Sweden], the tax authority doesn’t just use this information for administrative purposes – but sells it to data brokers who publish it online."The government shouldn't ever sell people's private data - not for profit, not for anything.

It is though, this article is just garbage. This data is available for free to the public already.

I fear that they will lose though. That stuff is so deeply ingrained in lots of systems all over the country.

They are not strictly "selling" it, right? They charge a service fee for a request of public information. At least in part that is because these shitty companies cost a lot because of all their shitty requests so they can sell the information for profit.

This is going to get interesting. Major culture clash.
I fear this will end with Sweden losing and being forced another step to the right.
