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?

jqvepnvThey reupload it at updates. They do not have to comply with your request and they will not guarantee it being removed.
If you move, they add it. If you change your number, they add it.
Why the fuck is this even a discussion, what do you gain from being able to see everyone’s private details?

jqvf7iqNo you absolute dork. It’s called ”Utgivningsbevis” and it overrides EU privacy laws.

jqvfa14Your so stupid. I’m not on Hitta.se

jqvfkzhYou are on ratsit, merinfo and probably a dozen more.
If you move, you may be back on hitta. You may be back on Hitta just because they decide to do a new update on your postal code.
Stop talking.
