Mullvad controversy (self.privacy)
submitted 2 days ago by SomeOne to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Could someone fully explain the mullvad controversy. From my knowledge so far it seems like the cofounder donated to an alt right party and it's probably a bad sign for the company. Anything I'm missing?

I'm missing even more. What does "paying for Mullvad" mean? What is the product?

their primary product is a VPN. for ages they've been the best in class for privacy vpn. however, it turns out their CEO is basically singlehandedly bankrolling a far right political party in Sweden so people are looking for alternatives
