- Praise: Mullvad is still my go-to VPN — the controversy only strengthens my loyalty to their privacy mission.
- Concern: The CEO's political donations are a huge red flag; it contradicts everything Mullvad stands for regarding privacy and anti-surveillance.
- Concern: It's disappointing that a company focused on privacy has leadership supporting policies that enable mass surveillance.
