    Yeah, because content providers will start asking Facebook who have used Facebook from this and that IP around this and that time?

    Or they will sniff the traffic of all networks within Sweden?

    We already have laws protecting personal data, how you can use and even store it. Forcing ISPs to provide the data is an exception, not the other way around.

    The original article has been pulled, new one available (In swedish) here

    A short summary in english.

    This autumn Datainspektionen will start monitoring how the IPRED law is applied when it comes to disclosure of personal information. A recent verdict in the RegeringsrÃtten, Swedens highest applicable court, has upheld Datainspektionens decision that IP adresses are to be considered personal information and therefore protected under law.

    In 2005 Datainspektionen ruled that collecting and storing personal information online like copyright advocates were doing was a breach of the Swedish PUL, Personal information act, that regulates how and what kind of information that can be traced to a single individual that can be stored. The antipiracy organizations were quickly granted an exemption though, that expired march 31st. Starting april 1st this year IPRED allows holders of copyright to apply to the courts for this information. Datainspektionen will now monitor closely how any personal information aquired from the courts in this manner is used by copyright holders.

  8. Swedish law by Iamthefallen · · Score: 2, Informative · on Accessing Public Records in the Digital Age?
    Snippet from Swedish Goverment agency concerning electronic storage and handling of personal data(pdf file):
    Section 11
    Personal data may not be processed for purposes concerning direct marketing, if the registered person gives notice in writing to the controller of personal data that he/she opposes such processing.

    One of many many restictions regarding storage of personal data that exist here, basically, you can't store data about someone unless they agree to it. If they do, you can't share it with someone else unless they agree. You can't make it public nor store it in an unsafe manner. All to protect the individual from having various (commercial) forces build a profile that can be used|shared|sold to benefit them.

    To be honest I'm surprised that the US doesn't seem to have as strong a protection, an interesting battle between commercial forces and individual integrity for sure.
