The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to hide’ means you stop caring about anyone fighting for their freedom. And one day, you might be one of them.

There are a surprising number of grammatical errors in that blog post. Did anyone proof read it, I wonder?

    Jag garanterar att deras engelska är bättre än din svenska.

    Ah, right. I forgot that they're based in Sweden. That's understandable if it's simply a lack of familiarity with the language, but, still, I would expect a company like Mullvad to at least have one native-equivalent English speaker to look over their public facing English stuff. None of this is the end of the world, ofc — I'm just mildly surprised.
