Mullvad's co-founder is bankrolling the far right

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

The article reports that Mullvad co-founder Daniel Berntsson donated 5 million kronor to the Swedish far-right party Örebropartiet, a sum constituting a large share of the party's 2025 funding. Mullvad publicly distanced itself, calling it a personal donation, but the piece argues that profits from Mullvad indirectly fund the donation. It recommends VPN users consider alternatives like Proton VPN or iVPN to avoid funding such groups while maintaining privacy.
