> the fact that you can pretend to be a journalistic endeavor

Isn't that the core of the issue? Who decides what is journalism?

MrKoll is mentioned in the article but there are identical databases that originally were used to track the political opposition and are now partly accessible for selected "journalists", among others. Should those databases exist because they make their own rules on who is a journalist? What about a user posting a comment on Reddit or Flashback that used MrKoll for the information? Is that journalism, making MrKoll a journalistic database?

This legal battle might have a major impact on Swedish newspapers.
