Ok, but that type of ad gets folks used to scaning unknown QR codes.
A bad actor could post the same flyer with a QR code that loads a virus onto your phone.

@notyourfanboy @mullvadnet if scanning a QR code can silently wreck your phone then that's an OS problem not a Mullvad ad problem. @GrapheneOS avoids this with sandboxing at multiple layers if I'm not wrong.

@notyourfanboy @mullvadnet Hi, i think that's why they put the link down the QR😅. But of course, you have to see the link... (You have to be near)
