As an American-Brit who has been living in Sweden for a couple of years, I've always found it interesting that pretty much everyone I know here can be found at their home address simply by googling their name and clicking on hitta.se. When I show this to my British or American friends, they're always shocked, and I find myself explaining that "Swedes have a very different, more trusting, relationship with their government than Brits or Americans."
Personally, I've never had a problem arise from this, and neither has anyone I know here, but I've been here less than for two years. I love it here and I can see myself living here for the rest of my life (that is, if you'll have me! Soon time to renew my visa!)
But I find myself wondering: Has anyone here, or anyone you know, ever had a problem arise from their address being listed publicly? Strange people turning up at your door, weird post or packages, or something worse?

So yes, there might be an issue. Historically i dont think theres been much of an issue.
However, i personally think theres going to be an issue because of OSINT + criminals.

jqvglxbSure people try to do that, sometimes the order is issued. Doesn’t really get rid of the stalker though.

jqvjhwmThen maybe we have a problem with policework or the law regaring stalking? But sure i get the points, fair enough.
