informational: mullvad vpn funding swedish national conservatives

[fairyrune]

before i begin, i would like to reiterate that this is informational. i do not intend to start discourse over whether or not you should or should not stop using mullvad.

very recently it has come to public attention that mullvad, a popular VPN service, has been spending massive amounts of its profits on the swedish party Örebro. this is a party that has explicitly aligned itself with the fascist far-right. you can read more here. given this is the space it is, i figured melonland users would want to know.

if you're looking for a VPN to replace mullvad in light of this news, airVPN or protonVPN are popular alternatives, but i cannot yet vouch for them myself.
