so of course I knew a lot about the Swedish eugenics program that ran from the 30s to the 70s over here - heinous but in late of european 20th century history not SO shocking...

however, today I discovered that in 1971 Sweden legalised child pornography

as a result a number of child porn publications came into circulation - which ultimately means that the Swedish Government, in the form of taxes, generating income from child pornography

this apparently lasted for nine years until it was banned once again in law in 1980

WHAT THE FUCK!
