My God. I'm not a Swedish lawyer, so there be nuance here I don't understand. But Sweden's own Ministry of Justice has stated that an exception to the constitutional principle of open records is, "the protection of the personal or financial circumstances of natural or legal persons."
Perhaps it's different there, but we American lawyers would say "well, duh," in a case like this.
Well, I didn't mean to be particularly critical. I just didn't know what it was announcing. Now that you mention it, though, the wording is a bit corpo for the Fediverse.
Oh, God. This must be the moment when I realize I'm over the hill for real. You're clearly assuming I know what Lemmy is, which implies that most people in this setting would, in fact, know what it is.
