Interesting that he's named personally. Can any Swedish person explain whether this is the normal process?


In Sweden, you can charge someone/something two ways.

Either you and a company has a disagreement and you sue one or the other and it goes to court.

But in this case, ”Utgivarna” which are basically a company/org that represents a lot of media outlets, basically went to the police instead and said ”hey, we think that meta is breaking the Swedish law”.

What the police does is that they then investigate and then finds out who is responsible for the company (Mr. Zuck) and then eventually will indict him. Since its Meta that is breaking the law and The Zuck is the one in charge of Meta.


That makes a lot more sense than the stupid approach like America (and I’m sure other countries too) where they consider the company a person and thus all that actually happens is a fine, that almost always amounts to several orders of magnitude less than the company made for their knowingly wrongdoing


Isn't that ultimately there's people responsible for a company's actions the reason why Mr Burns has a canary that actually owns his company?
