    But if they own it, it can’t be used as extortion/blackmail?
    Who the fuck cares that they had a dating profile with sexy pictures?!

    Edit:
    I guess it’s because he was a high profile security person that didn’t disclose a social account, and pictures from that account were released.

    Prosecutors said in the indictment that Landerholm had through negligence disclosed “information relating to conditions of a secret nature and whose disclosure to a foreign power could cause harm to Sweden’s security”.

    Oh, so the whole Grindr/gay thing doesn’t actually matter. The guy disclosed sensitive info to foreign powers.

    Further edit:
    Seems like a double whammy article…
    Hate on Sweden for seemingly forcing out a gay person.
    Hate on government person cause he used Grindr.
    Seems like the dude leaked info he shouldn’t have?

      The resignation comes just months after Thyberg’s predecessor in the high-profile job stepped down and was charged with negligent handling of classified information.

      Henrik Landerholm announced his resignation in January as police opened an investigation after he allegedly left classified documents in an unlocked safe at a hotel during a conference.

      These are not the same person. Thyberg resigned over Grindr photos, while Landerholm left classified documents unguarded.
