    Hey, so long as you don’t use X, any Meta product, Google, or Amazon, (or any Musk-infected garbage, obvs), or Protonmail then sure, cancel Mullvad and trash talk the guy silly.

    However. I very much doubt that’s the case.

    If it’s not the case, that means this is performative. a.k.a. Bullshit.

    I hope Mullvad buys him out, distances themselves as far as possible. But they are far from the only tech company with some right wing cunt mixed up with them. If you’re gonna be pure you gotta go full-stack FOSS and a lot of us aren’t there yet. So let’s not pretend like all of us are.

      This is a bad attitude. It’s like saying being vegetarian is performative if you aren’t full vegan. And for the record, I use Mullvad (for now), I don’t use any of the other services you mentioned, and I am vegan ;)

      This is not an all or nothing situation, people can criticise this for what it is, even if they’re using any of the products/companies mentioned by you. Navigating a tech-fascist ecosystem is difficult and every criticism here is valid and important.

      (Not using any of the aforementioned products/companies btw)
