> Maybe there's a case to distance Mullvad from him, then. Not taking a stand is also a political choice.

They are making a stand. This stance that they've taken has made me decide that I'm switching from another VPN provider TO Mullvad. Not many people have the backbone to actually stand behind freedom of speech when it may cost them something. It's very admirable.

Depending on what your current VPN provider is, this might be a good idea anyway.

Purchasing political power has zero relation to freedom of speech.
