Original submission title, which I think better captures the actual change that has happened:

"Buying custom adult content became illegal in Sweden first of July 2025". It seems moderators may have gotten a bit too eager with improving the title :)

This is the official message/news from the government, but it's in Swedish only: https://www.regeringen.se/pressmeddelanden/2025/02/nya-lagfo...

Another perspective (also in Swedish) from the "Swedish Gender Equality Agency", which contains a bit more background on why the law was changed: https://jamstalldhetsmyndigheten.se/aktuellt/nyheter/starkt-...

It looks like a mod reverted the title to the article's original title (in keeping with the title guideline at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), but if it's not accurate, that's a good reason to change it (as the guideline also says).

It's always better to use representative language from the article itself, though, so I've used the first sentence of the article instead.
