Some politicians in the UK think it is a good idea to introduce identity verification for using VPN services. It could be that these politicians do not understand what they are proposing. The alternative, that they do understand, would be even worse.1/2

Whistleblowers, activists, and journalists depend on anonymous VPN services. Requiring identity verification for VPN services would put them at risk. It would also have a chilling effect on online debate (VPNs can help people post anonymously on social media). In authoritarian countries, VPN services are crucial forcriticizing the government. That is precisely why such governments seek to ban or restrict them. Hopefully, the UK will not join that list.2/2

@mullvadnet Whistleblowers, activists and journalists rarely align with ideas like "repatriation". Owner donating 5 million SEK to a rightwing local party is 100% fucked.

@mullvadnet How does this fit together? On the one hand you claim to care about protection against authoritarian regimes, on the other hand your CEO finances a racist far-right Swedish party that calls for forced repatriation. Can you explain please?

@mullvadnet you do see how having one half of your CEO room actively donating to subvert your company's mission makes you inherently untrustworthy, yeah?

@mullvadnet @Cube There’s disagreeing on views and there’s actively funding a political party that thinks certain people shouldn’t be allowed to exist. It may be private, but that money comes from Mullvad subscriptions.

@mullvadnet > We protect the right to express and access views we disagree with.Not if you're supporting fascists. They very much do not believe in freedom of speech, or freedom of anything. Absolutely go fuck yourselves./ @estelle4565

@mullvadnetYou certainly do not welcome the views of people that want to ban VPN providers.But you do welcome the supposedly unshared views of people who want to ban actual people? Like that wouldn't impact the freedom of expression of those same people?Spoiler: Their opinions would be banned along with their bodies from your country. An action then supported by money that probably came out of your company.@canleaf

@mullvadnetDo you believe an Afghan journalist who gets deported to Afghanistan can make any use of your service there? No. It is not possible.This statement just sounds so stale now that I know that Mullvad wouldn't move a finger to protect people's freedom of movement and residency.They see no problem when one of their co-founders and major shareholders backs the political campaign of a authoritarian politician who wants to mass deport people.Apparently this endeavor seems reconcilible with a freedom of speech oriented agenda to them.Tell that to the people in Iran who were cut off from the internet for months. Or in Afghanistan where they're cut off for good.Mullvad doesn't support their rights in any way.
