Obviously, Tor Exit Node operators will always be targeted or suspected
of things they are not. This Swedish thing isn't anything to worry about
in my opinion, or at least you don't need to be worried more than you
were previously. As long as we don't have a lot of exit nodes, or
middleman nodes, especially middleman nodes, in Sweden I think
everything should be fine. If you are ever harassed by authorities, be
sure to let everybody know, be loud, and raise some hell over it. (And
let me know personally, I'd love to help)
