I don't disagree with the position of the company as outlined in this statement and their neutral position. But by being a customer of the company I would also be paying the co-founder with his weird views that are definitely not neutral, and that is still worth avoiding. And maybe his individual opinions are actually more representative of the companies values because they aren't filtered through a PR team. As long as they are not the only good VPN provider, I don't want to support this.
