[–] Stormcrow@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (6 children) What happened to Mullvad? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 week ago (5 children) Their CEO donated money to a political party that was not a good party to donate to essentially. A bunch of lemmenites started boycotting and leaving supposedly to Ivpn and others. Now Proton CEO has done something bad and it's time to boycott their giant honeypot. Everyone is always super ready to jump ship and bash. Mullvad is likely the most reputable VPN provider available. I see no need to switch yet unless they really go AWOL. Proton has always been far more honeypot-ish to me over the years. Though I know heavy organizations that use it, so there is that side of the view as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago "Not a good party to donate to" is a REALLY soft way of saying literal actual Nazis. permalink fedilink source parent [–] milbyte11@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (3 children) that's... mild. and doesn't really have to do anything with mullvad itself (i am assuming here it was his own money, not mullvad funds). yeah, if people really wanted to boycott because of that then they should doubly boycott proton as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 week ago (2 children) Like 2 months ago or so it was a major event online.
