if the site was not making available any content owned by US citizens then you would be right - it would have nothing to do with the US, and Sweden would have every right to tell the US to stay out of its affairs... however that is not the case.
Imagine if the situation were reversed. A gang of thieves from the US keeps stealing valuables from Swedish people and selling them in the US. Over and over they do this every single day and they make no attempt to hide their actions. Would Sweden be in the wrong to convince the US government to stop this from happening, if that were the case?
