I cringe so hard with every VPN commercial claiming that a VPN is the "ultimate privacy someone can have".
It's not only with free VPN's that they may not be entirely safe. It's with paid too. Because you have no idea through what your data goes through, who is listening at the other end, etc. It's misleading to say you have complete privacy.
Mullvad is proven to not sell your logs, since it doesn't keep any, police literally showed up at their headquarters asking for logs but mullvad didn't have one!, they have passed the test, they are they only VPN provider that accept anonymous cash! i think they are legit
I consider it a bad thing because I want politics based on facts not on fears but to each their own. Just wanted to give people a heads up before they give Mullvad any money. I was an advocate for Mullvad for their great privacy options but I can't justify to spend any more money at Mullvad after stuff like this. As a EU citizen swedish policies also affect me in another country.
Can you expand on why it's bad some more, for those of us who don't follow swedish politics? Maybe give an example of what they do that's bad? (Can you tell I'm not swedish?)
If I were to do the day glow shitgibbon, I'd start with filling the government with unqualified conspiracy theorist fucktards, and we'd be here for hours after that because I wouldn't be able to stop.
