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?

jqv6p7dCause and effect. Its an tabu opinion for sure, evidedently. Idgaf.
Its kinda funny though how people from other countries sees warning signs, yet the blindfolded swedes itch and claws in defence.

jqvjfxuWhat warning signs from what other countries? Why do we need those? We are not doing something new here, it’s been like this ever since Internet was invented (and before that, Yellow pages) and it is not some ”massive problem” that you claim it is
