    • 2023 December 29, Fanny Jönsson, “Twittrar Billström om statshemligheter? [Is Billström tweeting about state secrets]”, in Aftonbladet (editorial):
      Det hela påminner om när den moderata utrikesministern, Carl Bildt, år 2012 använde en privat mejladress i jobbet. Då sa it-säkerhetsexperten Joakim von Braun att det hela var som att trumpeta ut hemligheter över gator och torg. Jag gissar att DM:a om frågor som kan skada landet är en liknande kakafoni.
      The whole thing is reminiscent of when the Moderate Foreign Minister, Carl Bildt, used a private email address for work in 2012. At the time, IT security expert Joakim von Braun said it was like broadcasting secrets over streets and squares. I guess DMing about issues that could harm the country is a similar cacophony.
