I received a response from [email protected] & it's bad. To ignore intolerance is not how you demonstrate tolerance. Allowing hatefulness into your space is not how you promote an intellectually open environment.

Daniel's donation to a political party may not represent your values, but when that party is one advocating for things like "remigration", your silence on the issue absolutely does show where your values are.

Downplaying my decision as "philosophy" is just plain rude. I live in the USA, where fascism is running rampant. I know very well what fascists do to innocent people. I do not want to support a company that is pouring money into fueling fascism in another country. I don't want more people to have to be afraid to go outside.

I can't get a refund because it has been more than the fourteen days allowed by the refund policy, but anyone within that time should absolutely fill out a refund request now.

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

"Trump is facing some real danger regarding the suit he filed against the BBC:

–He filed suit over a story they did on the January 6 insurrection, which included parts of the speech he gave on January 6th. Trump claimed that they had spliced two parts of his speech together to make it sound like he had incited the riot. The BBC apologized, but he sued them anyway, for $10 billion dollars.

–Unlike most of the media organizations he sued, the BBC didn’t settle. (It’s not clear whether Trump even realizes it’s not an American media company or that it’s owned by the British government.) They proceeded to the discovery phase and have been demanding all sorts of documents from Trump.

–The BBC is citing Jack Smith’s report suggesting Trump’s speech met the incitement standards and that violence was foreseeable. Many of the documents they are requesting are the same ones Jack Smith requested as Special Prosecutor, documents which led Smith to conclude that Trump met the standards for incitement.

–Trump, meanwhile is refusing to hand over documents, claiming “a fishing expedition,” has offered no proof that he was harmed by the BBC program (which was never shown in the United States, and is seeking to shift the case to a different judge.

–There are reports that some of the documents implicate Trump more deeply in the insurrection than had been known before, and Trump’s lawyers are worried that discovery in Trump’s lawsuit could expose him to a January 6 “trial,” a trial he has managed to avoid until now.

The biggest wind farm in the U.S. began operation in New Mexico.

SunZia’s 916 turbines will supply enough power for one million homes, mostly in California and Arizona.
