Talk:Censorship in Sweden

message: Maybe someone could add that the last film to get censored was Casino in 1995.

I had removed a few inaccuracies which Isarig restored. This is the fragment:
"Some movies have been banned entirely and are not available for viewing. The list of the films banned includes Nosferatu (banned for excessive horror), Mad Max, Martin Scorsese's Casino and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation."
Of all these movies, only Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Madmax from 1979 seems to have been banned, which is also where the source leads to. The other movies are not banned! Casino is not banned! It is The Casino from 1972 which is banned. See here. Nosferatu is not banned. Moreover, I will say that the movies are released on DVD and in the past, they were released on VHS. Anyway, all of this is ridiculous, much like the whole of Sweden's moral perspective on things and their stupid laws. Luckly, I've moved to Denmark, a country inhabited by humans, for humans. --Thus Spake Anittas 16:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this, Nosferatu was banned as well. If it is the wrong Casino movie which is linked, feel free to correct it. Isarig 19:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps the decission was overturned, because according to their official site, the movie is not banned. As for Casino, it should be removed altogether, because the one that is banned is just some B-movie that no-one would know about. Here is the complete list on IMDB, but I don't know how accurate it may be. --Thus Spake Anittas 19:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you provide a link to the Nosferatu offical site? I'll reove the Casino entry, because that does not appear to be sourced. Isarig 19:59, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not Nosferatu's official site, but Statens Biografbirå's official site. They are the idiots that decide these things. The page is located here. Notice that it says that it has an age limit set at 15, compared to the Texas Massacre where it says that it's förbjuden. --Thus Spake Anittas 20:06, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah yes - but this is for the 1979 Remake, not the 1922 original. Isarig 20:27, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm, well, strange that the original one is not included. --Thus Spake Anittas 21:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Yep, I'm aware of that, but still. They should mind their own business and only censor such things as the ones you have mentioned above. In my opinion, Sweden is a conservative-feminist society. That will also be its downfall, unless those leftie girls are removed from power. --Thus Spake Anittas 21:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Film censorship 

message: Why is there no mention of him? Deplorable as the contents of his speech may have been, he should have been mentioned as an example of continuing censorship in Sweden - in this case, it's hate speech laws. Whether hate speech laws are good or bad is irrelevant: They ARE censorship.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.231.230.67 (talk) 13:26, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually they are not. Hate speech in Sweden is something you can be sentenced for after you have done it. Censorship is when it is stopped before. // Liftarn (talk) 19:35, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also, I think it matters that Åke Green was acquitted. 130.243.175.43 (talk) 13:58, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Here's a link to a YouTube with a cartoon that shows insidious Swedish censorship:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0rBeoOiV1c&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The entire last section when Donald uses a machine gun has never been shown in Sweden.
I'd imagine if you'd "edit" other art, and dumb it down, the Swedes would be upset.
There are many other cartoons that have been cut to "suit" what Swedish censors will permit.
Same with print - reference Herge and his Tintin stories that had to be "cleaned up" for Sweden.
No, Swedish censorship is pervasive, it's just that the Swedes are oblivious after so many years of being treated like children.

thread_title:  Examples of Swedish censorship  

message: The section I wrote was removedhttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Censorship_in_Sweden&diff=701997706&oldid=653311766 under the explanation that 'This part is not regarding censorship in Sweden. It can be assumed that it is based on the authors own opinions'
First of all the definition of censorship according to the relevant Wikipedia entry is:
Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by governments, media outlets, authorities or other groups or institutions. 
The We Are Sthlm sexual assaults attempted cover-up fits this definition as both the Swedish police and the newspaper Dagens Nyheter suppressed information even though they had knowledge of the facts.
Secondly, I have only written factual statement with sources, so the 'assumption' that it was based on my 'own opinions' is total bogus.

replies: text: Thanks, totally agree with your edits. I just added the last reference back, not sure if you left it out on purpose, but it supports the last sentence.

text: Cheers, nah not on purpose just know nothing about editing wikipedia haha. My first thought was to nuke it as well simply due to the sort of nudge-nudge way it was presented, but then I realized being an adult and try to fix it might be somewhat more productive.  90.226.135.177 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 17:14, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Swedish media, like all media, has always had a whole bunch of areas in which they are more reluctant to write. Whether this is one of them has been debated – certainly, a number of Swedish journalists have claimed this to be the case. However, if we're to write about everything where the Swedish media could potentially be accused of self-censorhip, this article would no longer be an encyclopedic article, it would be a book. Giving this particular item so much space – space at all – is, in my opinion, an example of recentism, and doesn't fit here. This text is not about self-censorship. It's an article to give a basic overview of how censorhip in Sweden has worked from a historical perspective, and works today. This isn't the right place for entire paragraphs about certain issues about which Swedish journalists might have been reluctant to report for a (in the perspective of this article) short period of time in the 2010s. /Julle (talk) 22:42, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed, since no one had replied here – the article isn't about self-censorship, and if we're to mention everything topic the Swedish media has avoided writing about during the period covered by this article, this will be a book-length text. /Julle (talk) 09:20, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
