Follow FOI on social media. We currently have a presence on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn and YouTube.

Most of the information published on Facebook and LinkedIn links to information available on the FOI website. Exceptions to this are the short introductory texts linking to articles on the FOI website and the FOI comments on users' posts. On X, you can also find tips about newly published reports, links to news outlets that our researchers contribute to, and occasional live tweets from seminars that FOI is attending.

FOI is a government authority. This means that posts and comments published on our social media become public documents.

When do we remove information from social media?

FOI reserves the right to remove its own and others’ comments and posts from its social media on an on-going basis. Comments that are considered to require further attention are registered in FOI’s Diary.

Comments that are of a personal and derogatory nature, are in conflict with Swedish law, or are unrelated to the post in question, will be removed. FOI maintains a cordial tone in all its conversations and prohibits:

• the creation or dissemination of comments that are either offensive or defamatory
• all marketing activity, whether for oneself or the commercial interests of others
• the spread of spam, or other posts that are unrelated to the topic under discussion
• the issuing of threats or harassment
• the use of a false identity
• any encouragement of criminal activity, whether directly, or by forwarding such encouragement that originates elsewhere
• creating or spreading comments that express discrimination or that identify someone on the basis of race, skin colour, sex, gender, belonging to an ethnic group, or sexual orientation
• distribution of pornographic material and unlawful depictions of violence.
• unlawful violation of privacy
• unlawful threats

The authority will not provide notice when a comment, or post, has been removed from the medium, or registered in its Diary. This applies to all of FOI’s digital channels.
