According to LEK’s definitions, LEK does not apply to Mullvad since we, as a VPN service provider are not regarded as an electronic communications network nor an electronic communications service.
This is super interesting. I don't know anything about Swedish law, but I'd find it difficult to believe that a VPN provider in the USA would not fall into one of those two classifications. The devil is in the details, of course: definitions of terms of art such as these usually accompany the rules or laws that involve them - at least under U.S. law.
I would love to hear from a qualified Swedish lawyer on the question.

- hnarn 4y agoIf you are curious about the definitions of these terms, you can read the law in full here: https://lagen.nu/2022:482 https://lagen.nu/2022:482 — specifically paragraph 7 in chapter 1. Not sure how useful it is through Google Translate, but to your point: yes, there are definitions. Paragraph 19 in chapter 9 is also relevant.
