RE: mastodon.online/@mullvadnet/11…
This is immensely disappointing, @mullvadnet.
Your co-CEO is funding far-right authoritarians. Authoritarianism is not compatible with free speech – anyone who claims to be fighting for free speech has to be aware of this. In fact, the reason we need free speech is to fend of authoritarianism!
You used "free speech" to defend anti-free-speech views. This is the "paradox of tolerance". Only, it is not a paradox. Allowing intolerance erodes a tolerant society:

Mullvad is a political company fighting for free speech, free information and privacy, with two equal co-founders, co-owners and co-CEOs who fundamentally disagree on many issues. Daniel's donation to a political party is private and not part of Mullvad's mission. We protect the right to express and access views we disagree with. We welcome anyone sharing these core values, whatever their other opinions. We are happy to refund others who don't, where we can.

in reply to Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦 • • •Also, dear @mullvadnet, you of all companies should know that you don't get to pick-and-choose the human rights you like and to whom they can apply. Your CEO (and in extension the company) is either supporting *all* human rights universally for *all people*, including the right to asylum and to live free of discrimination, or you don't support them at all.
You can't just support #privacy and #FreeSpeech, shit on the rest and claim to be pro-human rights.
