Just today in Print Journalism lecture it was revealed that in Norway, tax returns have been public information since 1863. Those tax returns are available by applying in person, or - get this - online via a sophisticated search engine where the curious or criminally minded can search by name, address, and age to find out all the information about the wealth and income of their boss and colleagues, family, friends, and neighbours.
Can you imagine that?! I reckon this is even better than Google Earth! Or p0rn! O_o
