The IT company Mullvad’s founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a giant donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates “comprehensive re-immigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s needed,” he told Flamman.

Proton has sponsored some French (?) rasist person recently. They have apologised for it and said it was a mistake. However. This is not the first stupid thing they’ve done.
PS. I’m no way a fanboy of anything. While I have been a Mullvad user for multiple years now, it seems like I have to reconsider that.
Omfg I am tired of this narrative, the guy signed up for their PUBLIC AFFILLIAT PROGRAM, they did not sponsor him. A PUBLIC AFFILIAT PROGRAM which anyone can sign up for.
Still does not defend Proton actually affiliating with them.
It was a sponsorship and Proton’s PR team accepted him. It’s likely that they made a mistake, and that what’s matter. Their product is based on trust, you can’t afford to make mistakes like this. Or other mistakes like the previous incident.
