mullvad supports fascism apparently 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

re: mullvad supports fascism apparently @hsza @navi @jasmine @star as if tor isnt compromised

also, reminder that mullvad had to involuntarily prove that they're trustworthy (the cop raid with the cops afterwards sobbing on public television that mullvad didnt hand over data)

as if tor isnt compromised
im sorry but every case of "tor is compromised!1!" is just a conspiracy theory or a fundamental misunderstanding of its threat model and why would yours be different

re: mullvad supports fascism apparently @hsza @navi @jasmine @star also unlike mullvad tor is incredibly slow and not system-global (ik you can set that up but that's not usable for my use-case)

re: mullvad supports fascism apparently @schrottkatze @jasmine @navi @star though i distrust any centralized (and especially for-profit) providers of services that could be decentralized, and you should too

especially in the case of internet traffic proxying, protocols >>> providers, always

re: mullvad supports fascism apparently @schrottkatze @navi @jasmine @star see whats why centralized for-profit "vpn"s suck. this stuff could all be free and volunteer-ran, and its in significant part a technical problem

re: mullvad supports fascism apparently @schrottkatze @jasmine @navi @star were tor to make software for proxying entire desktop systems and/or select applications on them instead of just a browser, that would solve like half of that problem lol (they should also see about further doing away with centralized components in their network, being based in magastan does put them in a shaky spot)

re: mullvad supports fascism apparently @star @jasmine @navi @schrottkatze the tor daemon just provides a proxy, its up to other OS components how they want to use it. it is possible to torify an entire system via firewall rules but thats a pain to set up
