The IT company Mullvad’s founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a giant donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates “comprehensive re-immigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s needed,” he told Flamman.

The title is misleading because it doesn’t mention the millions are in Swedish Krona (I presume).
5 million krona would be €450 800.
1 cent for that cause was already too much!
That’s still the majority of the donation for that entire party. All from a single person.
Isn’t it kroner or is that a different currency?
Thats norwegian
A Swedish article in a Swedish publication about a Swedish guy and his Swedish company paying in Swedish kroner is misleading?
It depends on the audience. From what I see, the most common currencies on of Lemmy users are USD, EUR, GBP, CAD.
Here’s a hypothetical: I once received 5 million from a guy. But it’s only €280 because it was Zimbabwean Dollar.
You forgot to say the part where the title is in English but the currency is not mentioned. Is it pounds? Euros? Nope, Swedish crowns. Since when it’s acceptable to skip the currency no matter what it is?
I still disagree. It’s also why it’s important to not judge things only on a title. It’s still a lot of money in just about any currency that would be reasonably used in this case. At best it’s ambiguous, but I would not call it misleading.
