Oh, what a shame. Another privacy company destroying its own reputation via one of the founders by donating to a party that contradicts some of your core principles.
I can tolerate companies making mistakes and I get the world is complicated, but hypocrisy is unforgivable for me and the fact they don’t denounce this co-founder and say how wrong they are with this donation is shameful.
@jonah Did you convert this thread back?
Thank God 
I’m curious if Obscura will be commenting on this. I had been considering switching to them when my current VPN subscription is up, but I’d definitely want to know their stance on this before doing so, seeing as they use Mullvad as their second hop.
I expected this to cause a controversy on Reddit, but not here out of all places. I don’t see what’s the big deal
Privacy is very deeply linked with politics, which may not seem obvious at first—but political action is the only way to secure real, lasting, sweeping privacy. The forum’s apolitical nature is probably more a result of its membership than actual relevancy.
Good on Tor.
Glad to see that this shitshow didn’t kill Mullvad Browser.
It hasn’t killed them, but they’ve surely lost customers. I wouldn’t be surprised if shutting down their free encrypted DNS service had something to do with cost-cutting. I have no proof, of course. Nor do they publish any financial data, as far as I know.
The shutdown of the DNS service was already planned before this entire thing happened.
