Daniel Berntsson, founder of Mullvad, gave a personal donation of 5 million SEK (roughly 450,000€) in 2025 to Örebropartiet. This enormous donation accounted for 72% of the party’s revenue in 2025.

How does this affect Mullvad’s legitimacy as a company advocating for a free and open internet, while also funding a political party whose agenda seem to contradict these values? The official party website (in Swedish) can be found via the link below.

    100% agree. I’m trying to keep everything self-hosted, and j think I’ve made very good progress, but reaching total sovereignty is very hard. I’m guessing it’ll be way easier once I retire and dont6really need to rely on some of the imposed shit anymore.
