   daniel berntsson, one of mullvad's two founders and owners, has donated millions to a local fascist/populist party. (swedish link to flamman, a socialist news site)

   the örebro party are mainly known for using unusually aggressive rhetorics and racism.

   in the article, berntsson specifically mentions supporting the örebro party's politics of forced repatriation of swedish citizens born abroad.

     guess i could mention that they've also argued against queer rights, calling LGBTQ orgs "a full-on mafia" etc

     so if you pay mullvad then apparently that's where the money ends up

     @jackemled @jasmine *sighs heavily and throws Mullvad on the trash heap with way too many other companies*

     @jasmine I'm using the "report a problem" form in the app. Here's what I said incase anyone wants to say something similar.

     After years of using Mullvad, I will no longer be renewing my subscription. I recently found out that one of Mullvad's owners, Daniel Berntsson, donates money he earns from Mullvad VPN to a local racist and anti LGBT political party in Sweden, the Örebro party. If it's true that Mullvad no longer stands for the rights of people like me, then I can't use your service and I will not be renewing my subscription until this issue is resolved. Instead I will be migrating to one of your competitors who does not support those who want to erase people like me from the world.

     Thank you.

     @jasmine Thanks, and I will tell @mullvadnet that indeed my years of financial support and advocacy are coming to an end, as I won't be renewing.
