Privacy vs. Free Speech in Sweden

Posted by justin++ on Friday October 23, 1998 @04:20PM from the makes-ya-think dept.

Daniel Deimert writes "In October Sweden will get a new law on personal data, "PUL", which is based on EU legislation. The law will make it illegal to make names public on the net, without the mentioned persons "unmistakable consent" - and it threatens the freedom of speech. Very interesting. Makes me wonder where I draw the line between free speech and privacy.
