    it’s not naming a source.

    The Flame emailed Daniel Berntsson and he admitted that the donation was from him. The Flame is a newspaper that’s over a hundred years old, I think that makes them somewhat reputable. and if it’s not true, then we’ll see a statement from Mullvad and probably a lawsuit, don’t you agree?

      I see. Alright, if he admitted it to them, then that’s good enough for me. He might even make a public comment about it.

      Means I have to move on from Mullvad.

        well, I think speaking to a newspaper is a public comment. and judging from the Mullvad subreddit, there’s a whole lot of people from Europe who don’t think it’s a controversial opinion at all. which doesn’t really surprise me, considering the recent news from places like the UK with the race riots by white supremacists, fire bombings, and things like the growing popularity of the AfD in Germany.

        they’re doing the nazi thing again, just this time they’re all doing it together. yet they’ll still claim they’re better than the US somehow, despite having popular political parties that very publicly support ethnic cleansing.

          That’s not a public comment. It’s on the record, but it’s not public. Public would be putting it up on his public blog, writing it on Xitter or other social media, and so on.

          Anyway, for now, this is good enough for me to switch. I’m not going to knowingly fund fascist supporters.
