I respect your opinions and we have most likely reached the end of the road here but I just want to clarify something. The self-censorship in Sweden has a long history and this thread is not the time and place to go in more depths about it. So take it for what it's worth.
I think self-censorship in Sweden is not always a deliberate effort, but can be regarded as somewhat of a cultural trait as well. I would say that it spawns from the position of neutrality that the country assumed over the past couple of centuries. Avoidance of conflict is valued more so than perhaps in some other societies, which have been more war-like over the past century.
