> As if it isn’t a problem that their CEO is supporting policies that go against everything that Mullvad stands for as a company.

Mullvads mission is about privacy and against mass surveillance. That mission has nothing to do with their co-CEOs personal stance on immigration. I don't necessarily see the conflict of interest that the blog talks about?

The immigration policies (or mass-deportations) that Mullvad co-CEO is supporting with political donations cannot be achieved without mass surveillance and secret police.

It is really not difficult to draw this line to spot contradiction between co-CEO's personal stance and the company's mission.

> cannot be achieved without mass surveillance and secret police.

That doesn't apply to countries with a working personal-id system.

There it's just a matter of cancelling the banking account.

Some sieving at the borders, airports, harbors.

Maybe asking around the neighbours, former work where that sucker has gone.

Grabbing, and expedite. And that's it.

Bye, bye!

Well that party wants to enact mass surveillance to protect the country from immigrants

If a party says they wanted to stalk you 24/7 to make sure you don't murder someone, don't support that party.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

I just checked. They haven't published their political standpoints yet so it's too early to say. They claim they will soon, ahead of the elections.
How do we know anything about them?
You tell me, you claimed to know their plans. I don't know where you got that info from?

I checked the official source, which should be considered the authoritative source imo?
