Swedish law not only has criminal hate speech laws but in 2002 a newspaper was found guilty of such after someone posted anonymous messages on an unmoderated forum it ran (<a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/03/28/bloody_hard_to_run/">http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/03/28/bloody_...</a>). Defined as 'publicly making statements that threaten or express disrespect for an ethnic group or similar group regarding their race, skin colour, national or ethnic origin, faith or sexual orientation' according to wikipedia. So unless they're going to fight that then on that count at least I wouldn't regard it as a haven for unfettered freedom of speech. Still, good publicity.ChrisThu, 17 Apr 2008 09:28:34 -0000
