A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Mullvad but the founder is a fascist so ill change that after my time runs out
I’m not defending Mullvad, but this does lack more context.
What context? Only thing I can think of it was a private donation rather than made by mullvad itself
It was the co-founder, Daniel, that made the donation, the other founder, Fredrik, “did not like that he made this donation”.
Edit: I’ll include a link to Mullvad’s official response to the controversy since it’s relevant.
Fair enough
How many times does it have to be 'discussed' though?
lemmy has a search function, 99% of people here already know what happened with mullvad.
Lemmy does have a search function, but is it good?

Threads 5 and 6 are the fairly obvious relevant ones when I searched
I’m not necessarily looking for a new discussion, I just thought it was important to clarify since it reads differently when you have more context.
I doubt those that are unaware would look much deeper into it.
In what way?
As I mentioned in my other comment, there are two founders, one of which does not like the action of the other.
Sure? He self-define anarchist
Elon musk says hes an anarchist but he did a sieg heil in front of millions watching
Despots and the elite always like to brand themselves as democratic, for the people, or whatever. Its the usual propaganda. Can't have the peasants seeing them for what they really are.
Looks like a social networks hate campaign to me.
