Mullvad controversy (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Could someone fully explain the mullvad controversy. From my knowledge so far it seems like the cofounder donated to an alt right party and it's probably a bad sign for the company. Anything I'm missing?

But the profits of the company are being used to fund that political party. If people cancel their subscription the Mullvad CEO will earn less money and won't be able to spend as much funding racial segregation. You should vote with your wallet as much as possible.
