What do you mean? Lag 2008:717 does not contain any provisions about forcing companies to log or store data.

Rättegångsbalken does have a provision that a prosecutor can order you to preserve information you already have saved for a maximum of 180 days (https://lagen.nu/1942:740#K27P16S1). I can't find anything about what the punishment for ignoring such an order would be, but to say a company could be forced to keep operating seems extraordinarily unfounded.

Try this one [1] which contains an obligation for operators to comply and maintain secrecy. I'm not a lawyer, and definitely not a swedish lawyer, but my point is, despite baked in protections, like most countries, Sweden seems to have a robust set of overlapping national security and surveillance laws.

Mullvad is not an operator, and you’re moving the goal posts.

When you try to argue something is law, please have the decency to link to the actual law, you have linked a proposal and not the law as accepted by parliament.
