Co-founder. If you want to bring the facts, bring the correct facts!

Well I'm not going to stop using it until i've seen another VPN get raided and verified to not hand out my data.

Shit sucks but I'm not aware of any other VPN that doesn't have accounts, and let's you pay without a credit card.

I've been too lazy to renew my Mullvad subscription, and now I have another reason not to

Never had these issues with Njalla (run by Pirate Party affiliated people)

This is a recurring issue with Proton and Mullvad

Av vänstern anklagas vi för att vara fascister och av högern anklagas vi för kommunism

Accused of being fascists from the political left and communist from the political right...not exactly a reassuring description IMO.

Dang, Mullvad instantly loses its credibility of the go to lemmy shill VPN overnight.

Wondering if it's time that we as a progressive left community, establish our own VPN...

Im sorry, but people here in the comments seem to be complaining to complain. If both Mullvad and Proton are known to fund/support fascist parties, then what do you suggest we leftists use? And dont just blindly recommend eastern spyware VPNs either. Maybe we just go back to distributing newspapers and using radio, just like our comrades back then did

Apparently they've now posted a response:

We also live these values by being tolerant in our daily work. Everyone is welcome to collaborate with Mullvad if they share these narrow core values. As employees, contractors, customers, suppliers, lobbyists, campaign partners or whatever it might be. No matter what their other opinions are and no matter whether the founders or anyone else in Mullvad dislike them. The founders themselves fundamentally disagree on several important issues.

In context, this seems...tone-deaf. "It's okay! Immigrants are welcome to work for Mullvad even if the founders 'dislike' them." Yikes.

It should be obvious that Daniel's private donation to a political party is not part of Mullvad's values or mission, in the same way that someone's opinions on animal rights, taxes or public healthcare policy isn't.

I would argue that those three things aren't even all on the same level, and that's without even addressing the fucking fascism of 're-migration' policies.

That said, if you no longer want to be a Mullvad customer for philosophical reasons, we think it's important to honor that, and will gladly refund you.

Unless you were smart enough to pay anonymously, in which case you're welcome to doxx yourself, I guess.
