I appreciate the Swedish Police National Operations Department's effort to validate Mullvad's data handling claims through this unscheduled audit.

I would be ok with them installing a fine tuned cp detector to map out all predators and save that data for the authorites

I wouldn't. I've seen governments bringing out worst of the worst cases to rationalize surveillance, and it never stops there.

> And the long history here shows Mullvad isn’t a home for criminals. It’s just an extremely well-run VPN provider:

I wish major CDNs and webmasters didn't think otherwise. Browsing the web while connected to Mullvad is very difficult. It's actually what pushed me to Tailscale, as I find WireGuard fascinating and very fast compared to TCP-based VPNs.
