This is great, salaries shouldn't be secret!

Accessing the info in a terminal makes sense. However, why is it anonymous? I would like to know, also, who has been reading my info, and when.



So that you can snitch (anonymously, on the net, there is a website for this). https://www.vero.fi/en/About-us/contact-us/efil/reporting-su...

But agreed, the model in norway is better, so that you can see who has accessed your info.


Edit: if you are going to downvote could you please tell me which part of my comment is factually incorrect? Genuinely curious. How do you think laws are enforced? This is not a controversial fact, it is admitted by both leftists and right-wing politicians, economists and philosophers. Thanks :)

Why? Do you realize that laws are enforced by the use of government force and sending cops with guns to your house if you don't comply? What this does is basically pointing guns at people and ordering them "tell me your salary or I will shoot you". How is that in any way a moral thing to do?


Just for the record, I actually upvoted you (after seeing so many downvotes) because you provided a reasonable argument.

It is sad that you cannot often use colorful language on HN because people vote you down.


Thanks! While my language may be colorful, I don't think I used any insults or shown aggressiveness in my comment.
