He confirmed it. Mullvad has literally nothing to do with it. Itโ€™s a private donation.

Lol, even the Mullvad coowner Daniel Berntsson's here himself displayed his displeasure with this fact

'I donโ€™t like that he made this donation' โ€” Mullvad CEO reacts to co-founderโ€™s donation to controversial Swedish populist party

And you are out here trying to, for whatever reason, claim that it is ok and Mullvad's stance on the issue is in no way related to any of this. Among a myriad of reasons why this is not ok, Daniel Berntsson is not a departed or "retired" co-founder he plays an active role in the company's policies and own %50 of it. So yes he has power to affect company policies in a major way.

Directly from Mullvad

Mullvad VPN AB and its parent company Amagicom AB are 100% owned by founders Fredrik Strรถmberg and Daniel Berntsson who are actively involved in the company.

    You are free to do what you wish. He is free to do what he wishes with his money. The other co-founder is free to think whatever he wants about it.

    The only thing I've done is bringing up that "flamman" is not a reliable publication. And should not be used as the main source of any claim. Since then a smรถrgรฅrdsbord of other more reliable sources have been dug up that corroborate the reporting of the party's views on certain topics.

    The only thing Iโ€™ve done is bringing up that โ€œflammanโ€ is not a reliable publication.

    Direct quote from you and factual error:

    Mullvad has literally nothing to do with it.

    Also flamman is completely unrelated to this particular topic though you do really like bringing that up.
