    Neither right or left but mostly not left. Bunch of fuckers.

    How can you try to defend VPN usage and privacy if you need to collect data to identify migrants or descendants of migrants to strip their citizenship and deport them? It’s not like we don’t have examples of fascists using technology to profile and identify their targets: nazi Germany and IBM, Israël and Azure, or the DOGE that siphonated as much data as they could…

      that’s the infuriating thing about all this. with Mullvad all you are to them is an account number. that’s it. no email, no name, no address, nothing. you go to the site and they give you an account number and that’s that. hell you can pay for the damn thing in cash.

      So then the co-founder donates to a political party, with users money, that likely wants to do what you just said. How can I support that? my Mullvad subscription ends in like 2 hours today, i’m no renewing. And NOW I gotta spend the day finding a decent non-US based vpn. fantastic.

        I saw people in another thread say AirVPN might be an ok replacement.

        But yeah, I really like how much Mullvad doesn’t seem to even want my data, and the ID number system is great. I’m not aware of any other VPNs that currently do that.
