@mullvadnet@mastodon.online Racism and other hate against people isn’t an opinion. Also, spaming each person with the same message isn’t a good idea.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social And yet can you guarantee that all money that I give you flows to preserve the freedom of everyone to be freely able to express, live and have privacy? You cannot, since it is proven a large sum went indirectly into making a party that cares about none of those things and actively wants to dismantle human rights. Caring about only some human rights is impossible, and pretending they are not inherently linked is intellectually dishonest. This isn't a mere "difference of opinion", I'd like to ask you how one could be pro free speech information and privacy when one would like to discriminate based on nationality, deny people entry and housing based on where they come from and discriminate based on place of origin/language/skin colour (these are all personal identification information!!). You can't! Because they are conflicting goals!

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online An "equal partner" would either withdraw from a so-called partnership, or fight against it, if they truly felt that funding the xenophobic, white supremacist far right was wrong. It has nothing to do with expressing and accessing different viewpoints, and everything to do with enabling fascism. will definitely warn others against your service going forward

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social Yeah, you can't just "both sides" this kind of shit. Fascism is incompatible with tolerance.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online Please address the two concerns I raised in my post. This is a generic statement you seem to send currently to many concerned users.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social yeah no, this ain't it. I don't want my money going towards anyone who supports anti-immigrant "opinions". I'm very disappointed, especially since I had recommended Mulvad to friends in the past. I'll be asking for a refund

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social People's private attitudes to politics actually really does impact how they do business, and if others want to do business with them. It might surprise you that probably the vast majority of your current customers probably aren't fascists. Guess you're about to find out how that works in the real world. Maybe you'll still be around with masses of Nazis as customers. Maybe you should join up with Proton and Framework and make up a little fascist cabal over there in the corner.

@stevegis_ssg@mas.to 2026-06-27 18:46
@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social Money that goes to your company goes into the pocket of a man who supports Nazis. Whether you consider it your "mission" is irrelevant when that's what the money is doing.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social Sorry, but you're writing this claptrap to an audience that fully understands the Paradox of Tolerance. You cannot be in favor of "free speech" and fund fascism or other movements that plan to use state or private violence to suppress speech. If you, dear Social Media Underlying in charge of a Mullvad's social media account, are some wide eyed 20 year old who hasn't learned this yet, go learn the lesson and get out of that corporation as soon as you can. If you're otherwise, expect us to assume you're lying and cannot be trusted.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social It was my intention to move to Mullvad when my current VPN subscription runs out in a couple of months. I will no longer be doing so. I will also make sure people are aware that the company is co owned by a fascist when looking for a VPN service.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online So half of my money to you (minus operational costs) goes to a far-right donor?

@DBG3D@masto.es 2026-06-27 16:36
@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social 1 founder is a fucking fascist. Quoting you: "with two equal co-founders" Ergo, two fucking fascists. And no, "who fundamentally disagree on many issues". You cannot disagree with a fascist and be in bed with him doing business. Doesn't work that way. Any party asking for "masive deportations" and "support the national values" is a fascist and a nazi party.

@manchicken@defcon.social 2026-06-27 17:51
@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social the fact remains: when you subscribe to Mullvad you are giving the folks at the top, who get to retain a disproportionate amount of subscription fees, more money with which at least one of them will use to fund political movements without respect for human rights and dignity.

@catsitter@troet.cafe 2026-06-27 17:13
@mullvadnet@mastodon.online supporting fascism is evil, regardless of whether someone does this in their personal capacity or as part of their business 🤮 I will certainly not renew my subscription and recommend to anyone who asks to do the same

@nini@oldbytes.space 2026-06-27 16:26
@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social Shame your company determined that "free speech at any cost" means more than marginalised communities. My core values don't allow for tolerance of fascists, it's a small difference where free speech doesn't mean permitting hate speech, it certainly doesn't permit fascists and I'm not going to give business to a company that's fine with allowing fascism to flourish and openly permitting collaborating with it. Free speech and tolerance doesn't come for free and if there's one thing we've learned is that the moment you permit fascism and hate to have equal footing, everyone else loses.

@bruno@federation.network 2026-06-27 15:22
@mullvadnet@mastodon.online Seriously? As long as your co-CEO and co-owner receives his money from Mullvad as a company, you’re funding his donations. I’m sorry, but Mullvad is no longer worth recommending as long as you’re helping to fund it. @lostgen@det.social

@jplebreton@mastodon.social 2026-06-27 13:53
@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social tell your PR team that this statement is worse than saying nothing. > We protect the right to express and access views we disagree with. We welcome anyone sharing these core values, "a group of people doesn't deserve human rights" is not just "a view" someone holds, it affects everything they do, their decision making and that of any org they hold power in, the impact they have on the world. you are complicit in your CEO's actions and the consequences will be dramatic.

@fringemagnet@sunny.garden 2026-06-27 13:56
@mullvadnet@mastodon.online This is just badly-worded corporate talk that you copied and pasted dozens of times under every critical post, instead of offering an honest response to what is legitimate concern. And the vagueness of "we protect the right to express and access views we disagree with" does not do you any favours either. In politics there are opposing views as to how finances are handled, and there are those whose views include the notion that entire minorities do not deserve equal rights. Karl Popper's paradox of tolerance explains in very simple terms how accepting, let alone financially supporting, such views indiscriminately is not as honourable and harmless as you are suggesting. Presenting the financial support of a political party as the noble cause of protecting what you refer to as free speech is a false equivalent. Matter of fact, political parties and politicians do not just "express views" and then go home and nobody is affected. Their very existence is based on aiming to turn those views into legislation, directly affecting the lives of thousands, or millions. Framing people who ask for refunds because they do not wish for their money to contribute in financing a specific political party with views that go against their ethics as not supporting free speech is dishonest and reprehensible. Do better. @lostgen@det.social

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social not all views are equal. When the views are pro ethnic cleansing then we are not on the same side. I do not fuck with fascists neither do I fund them. I cannot give you any more money and I will now have to warn others.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social I'm not sure why you think spamming everyone with this same standard corporate non-response is a good idea. anyway, I'm sure you would defend our right to free speech in spreading the word far and wide that paying for Mullvad ends up pays for fascists, and our right to free association by cancelling our subscriptions, such is your unwavering commitment to our freedom.
