"Sweden prohibits from 1 July all (covert) photography or film in the private sphere, even if the images are taken on the street, in the garden or for example during birthday parties at home.

Such pictures are only allowed when the people in the photo or video have given their prior consent. The Swedish government has ratified the bill for this on Thursday (today). From July 1, anyone who photographs people in Sweden without asking for permission first is risking a fine or imprisonment (up to 2 years).

Journalists and press photographers fear that the new law will be used to their watchdog function and thus curb press freedom. Formally, the law makes an exception for news, but according to the Swedish journalists union, the conditions are unclear.

The Swedish government wants to prevent with this new photography law that the private lives of its citizens are just shared via internet, for example Twitter, Facebook and YouTube with everyone else. Also visually capturing and publishing harassment on the street is covered by the law."

 Probably covered in this law somehow.  It's just the type of shitty law that  can be used against just about anyone that pisses someone off as revenge

I think you're right. It's just about the most moronic law ever.

How is the street considered the private sphere? Can minors in Sweden give consent to their photo, or is that the parent's consent? Do parents get written consent from other parents when inviting them to birthday parties, so they can take pictures of their own kid's party? What if someone is accidentally included in the background of a picture which includes people who have consented?

Exactly. There are so many what-ifs that I don't even know where to begin. ::)

I *think* the law started as a seriously misguided effort to protect people from having their drunken nudes and such being posted by others on the interwebz, but I can't be arsed to look it up.

It is far better for people to hate you for doing the right thing than for people to love you for doing the wrong thing. Never ever forget that.

Why would people be bitching about ultra-low sulfur fuel for any vehicle fitted with a catalytic converter? it has to be to be compatible with catalytic converters, because sulfur, along with lead, are both notorious catalyst poisons for precious metal-based catalytic reducing agents. In fact the principle of catalyst poisoning is used deliberately in certain lab circumstances, most notably Lindlar catalyst for selectively reducing an alkyne triple bond to an alkene and stopping before complete reduction to the unsaturated hydrocarbon, that is a palladium-based catalyst plated onto barium sulfate most usually, the sulfur serves, carefully deployed, to poison and deactivate the catalyst leaving a lower degree of reductant potency, and thus one ends up with a far more finely tuned, more selective catalyst for specialist uses. But for a car, its just going to fuck up the converter, using fuel contaminated with the likes of thiophene (which is often found in benzene as a contaminant, even in commercial benzene sold as a solvent, which apparently can sometimes smell pretty foul, due to the thiophene. (although I actually, do not know from personal experience what C6H6 smells like, since smelling benzene is a really, really bad idea, its a powerful carcinogen due to its being locked in a flat, planar conformation due to the aromaticity of the benzene ring, which allows it to slip in between and intercalate with DNA strands, acting thus as a mutagen and carcinogen. Quite a specific one in fact, since its tendency is towards causing leukaemias. Although not acutely extremely toxic, its one of the solvents that I am very, very careful with and would always, ALWAYS use either brand new, or just tested with something like diethyl ether (if you can smell it, and its not going to do any serious harm catching a whiff of ether, hell you can drink the stuff as long as its clean enough and pure enough to be potable, lacking any unpleasant things mixed in to it, if you can smell it through your gas mask you need to check the fit, and if you can still smell it, change the filters. Strong smell but pleasant, works pretty well for testing whether or not you need a change of cartridge.

Well not children...but tell THAT to my ex fiancee DFG:P

And in her case, I'm pretty sure we both believed in exactly the same thing. Actually it was me who had to hold back so I didn't get caught doing some of the things she suggested. At least not WHERE she suggested them be done.

Although As far as the latter of the two categories is concerned, one of my happiest memories in life is with her, both of us having been caught out in a howling gale and pissing it down, to the extent it threatened quite literally to blow us off our feet, and the two of us using, I forget what it was now but either a lamp post or telegraph pole to link arms to each other around and form a human shield out of me, and one REALLY damn fine, although ahem..somewhat young, kanner's lass, so I could skin up the last bit of weed I had for us to share, curled up together inside one of those big wide horizontal metal tube thingies in some kids playparks (no little kids there playing, the weather was absolutely foul. But the two of us, relative ages be damned to hell, snuggled up, keeping each other warm and passing the doob.

God damn...its been over twelve years now since I last saw her, and I still miss her every fucking day. We were going to get married, even. And I know even now that she was The One. Would give almost anything for a chance to be back at her side, eventually have a kid, or two. Probably turn out to be autistic, but I wouldn't wish anything else on any kid of mine. And it certainly is known to have a very strong heritable component, although variable in expression. Presumably two classic auties though are going to make more of us. Or they should have. I was just waiting until she was old enough, and we could both have stability to go that far (to set up a family I mean)



Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.
