That's absolutely sad to read. The CEO of @mullvadnet@mastodon.online is not only financing the far-right Swedish Örebro party, but he even is their main financer. 70+% of their money is his donation. He is the reason why they go nationwide this year. For obvious reasons i cease to trust this service. Also i do not finance parties that aim for forced deportations. https://www.flamman.se/techprofil-ger-miljoner-till-orebropartiet/ #Mullvad

    I mean, people use vpns to escape authoritarian decisions made by fascists, so I suppose it’s good business for vpns to finance fascism…

    (Laughs at all the people who recommended Mullvad over ProtonVPN)

    I’ve always had success with AirVPN, and their owner & operators seem level-headed.

    Its not the fastest, but it is cheap and allows port forwarding to seed all you Linux ISOs back to the Linux ISO enthusiast community if you torrent.
