I imagine the sarcasm is because you're one of the people who believe that Mullvad can do no wrong, but in case you're serious, here you go.

Creditable articles present evidence.

Thanks for the links.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 3 points 3 hours ago

the article probably did not present evidence because political donations are public record in Sweden.

I don't see his name there. It just says "private donor" (but I don't speak Swedish).

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 6 points 2 hours ago

he's the private donor. The Flame asked him over email and he admitted it. since The Flame is a reputable newspaper that's over a hundred years old, I'll take their word for it.

if it's a lie and he didn't admit that, then I'll gladly admit I was wrong when he files a defamation suit against them.

From the article OP linked to:

Behind the giant donation is Daniel Berntsson, founder and co-owner of the internationally successful IT company Mullvad.

“This is a donation from me personally,” he wrote in an email to Flamman.
