Ok, just to sum it up for those following along at home:
NordVPN: confidence scam, the Raid: Shadow Legends of VPNs
Surfshark: owned by NordVPN
Mozilla VPN: reseller of Mullvad
Tailscale: partners with Mullvad
ExpressVPN: Israeli
Private Internet Access: ditto
ZenMate VPN: ditto
CyberGhost VPN: ditto
Windscribe: edgy branding, transphobic, uses slurs on social media
ProtonVPN: sponsors French fascists
MullvadVPN: donates millions to Swedish fascists

am I missing any?

@tael
Who does mullvad donate to? I've never heard of this and can't find anything when I search for it?
@banshee @tael Mullvad's CEO was just found to have donated about half a million bucks to an ethno-nationalist party whose leader is basically constantly spouting shit about somali's and foreigners being parasites. It's your typical "our country must be ethnically pure" bullshit. His is the single largest donation and majority source of funding to this party and it is enabling them to front candidates in parliamentary elections.

That's absolutely sad to read. The CEO of @[email protected] is not only financing the far-right Swedish Örebro party, but he even is their main financer. 70+% of their money is his donation. He is the reason why they go nationwide this year. For obvious reasons i cease to trust this service. Also i do not finance parties that aim for forced deportations. https://www.flamman.se/techprofil-ger-miljoner-till-orebropartiet/ #Mullvad
