@tragivictoria@mastodon.com.pl @joshlaw@mastodon.social Several months ago, we asked for 10Gbps+ dedicated sponsorships in the EU to use as update mirrors. Multiple companies gave us sponsored servers. Mullvad offered 2 sponsored servers on DataPacket.
Mullvad sponsors a large number of open source projects. They give $250k/year to QubesOS, heavily sponsor and work with the Tor Project, have sponsored WireGuard and many other projects.
What do you think we should do? Do you think we should take down the 2 update mirrors?

@tragivictoria@mastodon.com.pl @joshlaw@mastodon.social What do you think GrapheneOS and other projects they've supported should do? Should QubesOS, Tor, WireGuard and other projects should stop accepting money from Mullvad? GrapheneOS is entirely funded by donations and all of our update mirrors are sponsored. Anyone can donate to GrapheneOS without sharing their identity. There's no background check. It's the norm for how open source projects accept donations. Many people who donate no doubt have views we find repugnant.
