God bloody dammit. I genuinely LOVE Mullvad and have tried to use their (not so cheap) services. I feel in this economy, privacy comes at a price and I was happy to do this. Now, I realise my money is going to fund a POS far-right asshole. Proton supports Trump. Mullvad suports the far right. Is there any major privacy respective service provider that isn’t a bloody cunt?

Can we stop with the “proton” supports trump. This has been echoing since the tweet. I understand the initial recoil, I had it myself, but proton as an entity very clearly does not support trump.

Signal was kickstarted by the CIA, so dissidents in regimes they wanted to topple could communicate securely, but at least that seems genuine. Matrix was an Israeli spy company’s invention. Telegram is Russian. Reddit started out as the creation of Aaron Schwartz, but he got demonised and committed suicide. Then it was left to that shit eater spez, who sold his soul to the Epstein crowd making Ghislaine Maxwell a powermod among others, also hosting r/the_donald and bridging Trump’s popularity from 4chan into the mainstream. Now he sells everyone’s data to Google, while still not paying the manufacturers of that data anything. TrueCrypt got shut down because it was too cool.

Proton doesn’t support Trump. Their CEO cherished some judge trump put in, and reddit had a field day with it. It’s made by CERN scientists, so I guess their PR is suboptimal.

Same here, we’re left with AirVPN at that point.
