They value freedom of speech as much as freedom of association. Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, but that sweet DoD money is no problem.

It’s not double think. Free speech is about defending other people’s right to speak, not what they say. It opposes the Örebro Party’s / Mullvad cofounder’s opinions, not their right to say them. The network Tor created is literally a place where speech is incredibly hard to censor. Choosing what degree to work with another company is not about the right to free speech.

Free Speech != I have to agree with you.

Neat idea, but as usual, the real world is more complex than any one idea.

This response tells me you don’t even have Singlethink.

No it is not. This is literally classical liberalism, as espoused by Voltaire.

It's the reverse of what Voltaire said.

No, it's not.

They disagree with Mullvad, but are fine with Mullvad saying that.

> but are fine with Mullvad saying that.

but are fine with Mullvad having the right to say that.
