Mullvad co-founder Daniel Berntason donated 452k euros to the fascist ร–rebro Party in Sweden which made up 72% of the party's total funding in 2025. This political party wants to deport non-white citizens and immigrants guised under the white nationalist euphemism "remigration"

Just installed grapheneos last week and saw IVPN in the Accrescent store. Seemed interesting as I am running low on mullvad time. What a fun synchronicity

My mullvad subscription was up for renewal yesterday. Guess who gave 80$ to ivpn instead.

Use AirVPN. It's activist led from the start.

ProtonVPN is really good, just FYI (no they are not supporting MAGA, common let that lie die).

I have read so much into Mullvad thinking that I did my due research however companies can hide their skeletons pretty well before they surface.
