    I have no problem, if the service gets used for things I don’t agree with (I will not know anyway). But I do have a problem when one of the founders I paid (with the money from my subscription) openly supports this kind of party. No hard feelings, but with that knowledge, I prefer to give my money to another VPN.

    Got my refund from Mullvad so I’m fine now.

    “aren’t we living in a multicultural democracy, why can’t the minorities and the racists just get along and be respectful of each others’ ideas”

    Absolutely pathetic response. I’m less likely to use them now than before I read this

    even if you do believe in freedom of expression and information, why would you donate to a fascist group which have been using suppression of expression - either it is attacking immigrants, pushing age gate laws, or attacking trans rights - as their path to power?

    It should be clear by now how the party donation relates to this. Mullvad does not condone it, nor condemn it.

    If they don’t condemn donating to Nazis then they’re Nazi’s. Pretty clear. Proton VPN it is.

      They made is pretty clear that they think a broad coalition is necessary to support their cause of privacy.

      These purity politics are nothing but self-aggrandizement. It achieves nothing towards improving the conditions of the working class and if anything it’s actively harmful.

        This isn’t purity politics. This is deciding you don’t like what someone is doing with money so you refuse to give them anymore.

        Also having Nazis in your “privacy coalition” makes about as much sense as a coyote being a guard dog for chickens.
