It's not like we have the oldest unbroken tradition of freedom of the press on the planet, not at all Yeah, I know, standards were a little different in the 1700's than today, so it wouldn't be called that today probably, but since then, regulations have only gotten looser.
No one got hurt but quite a high number of apartments now need repairs

I'm very happy with the Spanish results. Vox was held to only three seats and the ruling Socialists came out clearly in front.

You think that is more than in the US? Or in so many other countries?

My Swedish friend says the news is censored more in Sweden than in the US and that people can get suspended from Facebook for writing things that are considered too right-wing. She also says news regarding the mafia in Malmö is suddenly removed from news outlets after being published in them.

Oldest tradition, yes, but I'm not sure "unbroken" is an accurate assessment. Just eight years after freedom of the press was written into the Constitution, King Gustav III published a new press law requiring the king to authorize what got printed, and it seems that there were indeed censorship laws in Sweden in the 1940s

What I read is that the bomb took out two whole apartment buildings, 17 people had to be sent to the emergency room with life-threatening injuries, and more people would have been injured if most people didn't happen to be at work at the time.
