I guess you guys think you live in US. This is Finland and we have our own ways to do these thinks. Getting your privacy protected here doesn't mean nothing yet. You have to get your information removed from all of these public records one by one. And there is huge amount of these. So in reality, it's almost impossible. Plus, this is a small country so tracking somebody down here is pretty easy job if you know what you doing. This crap again! I guess you guys think you live in US.

The article was definitely written by someone who is bothered by the public tax records. @9 Hey, that’s not my article, I just translated it.

I think this is quite common at least among students. You study and live in e.g. Helsinki, but you pay your taxes and vote in your original hometown.

Because you really don't seem to know when to stop. My theory is that there are quite a few people - me included - who wish for the said records to remain public... just because it *really* seems to get your panties into a bunch. Other than that I don't care either way. I do not agree with you, but this is an honest advice: shut up already. Unless you want to alienate everyone who might actually support your ideas.

Like I said in another post, this is only a translation from something a Finnish person wrote. Sounds like you are having a little crisis now you know that what you find so entertaining is actually hurting a lot of people. The only opinion I put here is "it keeps getting better and better". I really hope that my research and digging doesn't reveal some actual deaths of people who were killed by public tax record-fed envy, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. “You fool - this just proves that making things private (your plan) is no solution!”

The court orders on privacy are updated to several other databases without much adieu.

Sorry if you're almost murdered by your ex that you are hiding from, but its just too much work for us to care. Besides, what would your neighbors think if they couldn't see how much money you make? They'd be devastated. Wow, just wow. Sorry if you’re almost murdered by your ex that you are hiding from, but its just too much work for us to care.
