<![CDATA[Mullvad controversy]]>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?

  • You pay for Mullvad.
  • Mullvad makes a little bit of profit
  • Profit goes in large part to one of the two co-owners
  • Co-owner donates huge sums to a very right wing, incredibly racist party. This is not "just" a party that has some racism. It is a true nationalistic racist party with despicable politics.

    • So paying for Mullvad indirectly funds this party.
