In Norway, every tax return from every citizen can be viewed on public internet.

You can see exactly how much your neighbours earned last year. You can also see exactly who has searched up your return.

Wow

Creepy

Wild!! Seems like a honeypot situation! How does this not cause all sorts of problems/targeting etc?

peak surveillance, reads like kafka

Yeah, it’s very controversial.

I think they’ve had it for a few years now.

In reality nobody really uses it to check their neighbours as they can see you checking them, but everyone looks up the rich and famous, and of course… politicians.

I don’t know if “surveillance” is the right word? As it’s the default that every government has full sight of every tax return. They aren’t doing any extra surveillance at all, they are doing extra publishing.

This is extreme transparency.

なぜ隣人が昨年いくら稼いだかを正確に知る必要があるのか?

社会主義?ちょっと怖い感じですね!プライバシーが全くないじゃない?

怖いね...
