Henri Vanhanen wrote that Helsingin Sanomat had received nearly 800,000 Finnish individuals' location data for free from international data brokers. According to him, the data could be used to identify soldiers, members of parliament, and critical infrastructure workers, as well as to uncover their homes and movement patterns. Vanhanen assessed that the availability of location data could pose a serious vulnerability to Finland's national security and also jeopardize the privacy of ordinary citizens. He wrote that a foreign state's intelligence service might not necessarily need to breach information systems if it could purchase the data. Vanhanen suggested that Finland should begin preparing a Data Shield legislative package concerning the security of location data. He proposed that the commercial resale of precise location histories be prohibited, that the location protection of those working in security-critical tasks be strengthened, and that the responsibilities of authorities be clarified. Furthermore, he argued that Finland should advocate for stricter EU restrictions on the commercial resale of location data of identifiable individuals. https://t.co/iheRSEpv9j #Tietosuoja #KansallinenTurvallisuus #Yksityisyys (translated)

Henri Vanhanen criticized Rosatom's leadership and wrote that the company's arrogance seemed to have no limits. According to him, as Russia commenced the largest invasion of Europe since World War II, the head of the state-owned company responsible for Russia's nuclear weapons program had stated that he expected Finland's "special behavior" to end and the country to return to the Hanhikivi nuclear power project. Vanhanen believed that Finland would no longer negotiate strategic dependencies on the Kremlin's terms. He described the Hanhikivi project as a cautionary example of Russia's efforts to bind Finland's critical infrastructure to its influence for decades. According to Vanhanen, Finland's energy policy should no longer give the Kremlin leverage over the country's security, and Finland's stance or decision not to return to the project with Russia would not change. https://t.co/v2qPS0PMHs #Suomi #Venäjä #ydinenergia (translated)
