Are there no murderers, crazy ex-boy/girlfriends, targeted harrassment and spam calls in Sweden?

Not that any other country does much better in this regard. Still it sounds a little wild to me that you can get this information without even needing to hit a shady forum and download some csv. Maybe lowers the bar too much.

There are. You can get a protected identity if you have that issue.

The current system has been in place around 1770. There's some pushback against it the last few years.
