Could someone fully explain the mullvad controversy. From my knowledge so far it seems like the cofounder donated to an alt right party and it’s probably a bad sign for the company. Anything I’m missing?

I know its easy to change, my point is, no matter who we change to, the same could well be happening. Peoples’ frustration at finding it hard to know what company to trust, is palpable. One company let’s them down, they move to another. That company either doesn’t, or does.
I know nothing about airvpn, but you obviously trust them, and others do too I’m sure, until they are splashed across Lemmy for funding X, Y or Z, and then people move again etc.
Defeatist maybe. Is it too controversial to say that maybe we shouldn’t get so wound up about this stuff? Pick the company with the lesser of the evils?
People are selective about what they get hyped up about. They will change their VPN from Mullvad, but still buy clothes that are made in sweatshops. Its just interesting to see how people react to certain things.
