It-bolaget Mullvads grundare donerade fem miljoner – till parti som vill se ”storskalig återvandring”

Daniel Berntsson, founder of Mullvad, gave a personal donation of 5 million SEK (roughly 450,000€) in 2025 to Örebropartiet. This enormous donation accounted for 72% of the party’s revenue in 2025.

How does this affect Mullvad’s legitimacy as a company advocating for a free and open internet, while also funding a political party whose agenda seem to contradict these values? The official party website (in Swedish) can be found via the link below.

    I would’ve hoped that the CEO of a privacy company would’ve already known that both corporate parties of the US have demonstrated they are anti-privacy.

    His comments also don’t really make sense, since Trump’s first term only ever removed regulations on big tech and monopolies, while Biden’s second term appeared to be taking at least some actions towards regulating and reining them in.

    If we assume Yen really did believe that the second Trump administration would somehow turn a new leaf, then we must also then assume he is either extremely gullible, extremely misinformed, or both. Not something you want to see in someone running a privacy service someone may rely on.
