    This site has a long history on Kbin and Lemmy of spamming poorly written, poorly researched articles. It is a trash site written by a 14-year-old who knows nothing about anything.

      If they were able to polish up that article a little bit and disconnected from their current website, which serves up a whole lot of goofiness in general, It would probably be much better received despite the source.

    …because why would you go to all the trouble to pay Mullvad (presumably to keep your sensitive information away from big tech) to then give it to google in the form of an e-mail should you reach out to Mullvad for support? Google would then suck up any and all data that comes via their gmail service.

    I’ve trash talked this website before in my head, but maybe I was approaching it as a professional organization instead of more of a blog run by a small group of people.

    They aren’t just doing ads dude, it’s a for-profit propaganda machine.

    But seriously, Mullvad would do well to switch out their email provider to something that’s not Google. Even though email is inherently unsafe, email through Google is pretty much is unsafe as it can get.
