daniel berntsson, one of mullvad's two founders and owners, has donated millions to a local fascist/populist party. (swedish link to flamman, a socialist news site)

the örebro party are mainly known for using unusually aggressive rhetorics and racism.

in the article, berntsson specifically mentions supporting the örebro party's politics of forced repatriation of swedish citizens born abroad.

EDIT: …and should you decide that you're not renewing your subscription, then may i suggest telling them about it? i mean it's arguably a good thing if they're made aware that they're losing customers because of the owners financing this crap. and they can't get away with it since anonymous donations to political parties are prohibited in sweden.

you could even tell them here on fedi. it's mullvadnet(at)mastodon.online

@jasmine oh no, I thought these were one of the very few decent companies that I didn't feel guilty about paying 😡
@ciara me too. but apparently that money ends up supporting racists fighting against my rights as a queer person. not a product i'm interested in, so to speak

@jasmine

Yeah, letting my subscription die now. Bought up for a few months already unfortunately. Guess it's time to find another one all over again.

Any suggestions for alternatives?

@ciara

@kavana @jasmine @ciara
I almost don’t want to suggest it in case it turns out they’re awful too, but Windscribe?
I get a discount due to being a Kagi subscriber…
@gareth @kavana @jasmine @ciara ...and Kagi (last I checked) supports Russia by using yandex.
