Has anyone ever had a problem caused by their address being listed on Hitta.se and similar sites? (leddit.danmark.party)

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?

I say the same thing as I say to all people who are concerned with online privacy, if you have clean flour in the bag then what are you worried about?

It’s certainly possible to piss someone off without doing something wrong — just look at many of the comments here…

In Sweden the world doesn't revolve around every single individual as they might believe it does in a country like the US. No one is going to send you weird stuff or randomly knock at your door, you're literally no-one. I don't even think open neo-nazis have problems here.

The reason why addresses, taxes etc are open to the public is to stave off corruption. Literally everyone can check up on anyone else and report them to the police or skatteverket. It's a very good system!
