Daniel Berntsson, founder of Mullvad, gave a personal donation of 5 million SEK (roughly 450,000€) in 2025 to Örebropartiet. This enormous donation accounted for 72% of the party’s revenue in 2025.

How does this affect Mullvad’s legitimacy as a company advocating for a free and open internet, while also funding a political party whose agenda seem to contradict these values? The official party website (in Swedish) can be found via the link below.

    You don’t get that choice. Beans soak up the flavor of the broth, rocks get thrown out in the trash.

    I’m not trying to be a jerk, but you literally have no control over what other people do and the whole point of a marketplace is to drill the social relationship down to cash.

    A vpn service with a political angle like you suggested would immediately be targeted.

    It’s why you can buy a che tee shirt but not actually ship oil to Cuba.

    If you need the security of mullvad then i recommend you use it.

    Now a communist vpn would be a great piece of political theater! Get one going then get black bagged over it, run a social media campaign to raise awareness, levitate the pentagon, it’d be fantastic!
