Could the Swedish government require a VPN to start logging user activity?
<p>This question is basically the same as this question, but for Sweden instead of the United States</p>

<p>If the government asked a VPN that was operating in Sweden to start logging user data, would the VPN operator be obligated to do so?</p>

<p>A VPN operator has to follow the laws in the country where they operate. If the laws in Sweden say that a VPN operator must keep logs of user activity, then they have to keep logs of user activity. </p>

<p>If it makes you feel better: There are two kinds of VPN operators. Those that say they log, and those that lie about logging. </p>

<p>Unless they provide your internet connection, they are at current not legally obligated to keep logs as the Electronic Communications Act only applies to isp:s (SFS 2003:389). However, if they keep logs for their own purposes, they can be compelled to produce them for a criminal investigation.</p>
