Good old misdirection
ZH features a Swedish scandal arising from plain incompetence. The Swedish government exposed ALL government data on Swedish citizens to the open web two years ago. Serious incompetence, no doubt, and somebody needs to be fired. But it's not a scandal. It appears that none of the information was actually used for criminal purposes during the time when it was open. This is typical of such mass exposures.
We need to face facts.
Fact 1: There's no such thing as privacy, and there never was. It's a myth.
Fact 2: SOMEBODY is always going to access files, whether the files are paper or digital.
Therefore: It's better to have this set of facts OPEN TO EVERYONE. Not broadcast or distributed en masse, but available in a retail way to anyone who wants to take the trouble and pay the fee. Library, not loudspeaker.
Blackmail is impossible when EVERYONE has access.
If you're going to bring down the Swedish government, you should be focusing on the GENOCIDAL MURDER committed by the Swedish government against its own citizens, forcing a criminal migrant invasion and prohibiting police action against the criminal migrants. There's your fucking scandal.
