I used Mullvad for a long time, but hearing about one of the two CEOs actively supporting and financing swedish Nazis, I’m looking to put my money elsewhere. That’s the second one after Private Internet Access (who supported Gab).
I had AirVPN and Surfshark being recomnended, how do people here feel? What do you use?
I’m still using mullvad. I don’t care enough about political morals at this day in age. I wouldn’t be allowed to operate life if I boycotted every service that went against my principles. I do tend to agree with the statement that while it may not be in my interest. What a co-founder does in a company isn’t reflected on the company as a whole. If Mullvad was actively donating to structures or was advocating for it I might care more.
Being said, it goes without saying for me that, considering this picked up news trend in the US and is being shared across every news site and seems to have a massive following on X, which is a known bot platform and hive mind. I’m taking the entire thing with a massive grain of salt, as nothing is allowed onto US news without it being to some advantage of the current government structure. Which means that it’s more likely this is being pushed as a nothing-burger with the intent to dissuade people from using a service that has no government controls.
I’m not saying he didn’t do it because he has openly admitted to it, but I’m just saying I expect that the entire situation is being blown out of proportion if it’s gained trending on US news sites
Well I didn’t ask about a discussion but about alternatives. You do you.
Ah, sorry. I misunderstood then. I took
how do people here feel? What do you use?as an invitation that you were willing for discussions. I didn’t realize you aren’t looking for discussions ^^’Wait. One of the mullvad founders funding a small Nazi party in Örebro has made national news in the US? The fuck?
I hadn’t even heard of the party until now and I live in the neighbouring county.
Edit: holy shit, they’ve used the money well. They’ve grown significantly in the polls, from being a straggler 2022 to being the second largest in recent polls.
Fuck.
