I’m not at the point where this outweighs the reasons I picked mullvad yet. And the other cofounder’s statement does at least give me hope that it might work itself out in a way I can accept before my current term is finished.
That being said, I’m not sure I can give money to the company when someone is profiting from that money and spending part of it on a political organization that expressly espouses a stance I believe to be harmful and dangerous. And it isn’t like you can pirate a VPN, so it differs significantly from when actors or musicians do stupid shit.
That being said, I also don’t think that using mullvad would be something other people would be obligated to avoid just because the CEO donated to a small and shitty political party. By itself, it isn’t something so bad that it’s possible to point to a customer and do more than inform them of the donation and maybe give them links to see for themselves that it’s a shitty party. Or, at least that it’s a party with some really shitty platforms.
But the guy needs to show a major shift in how he donates before I’ll renew.
He didn’t just donate though, he basically funded it single handed.
A quick read about the party suggests that the person in charge is seriously unhinged.

He needs to be bought out of mullvad.
Just a rich person trying to get proto fascist powers. Yeah you wait a bit, but I won’t and I hope it’s the end of his company and career.
Good company though, very rare.
It’s no longer good if the money made from said company are used this way. It was good until last week or so.
