If you’re “politically neutral”, you’re saying fascism isn’t a deal breaker for you.
So that’s a deal breaker for those of us for whom fascism is a deal breaker, @ivpn.

@aral We have provided a lot of nuance and clarification on this. An excerpt from a reddit comment: "worth stating - we don't support any extremist causes on any political or religious spectrum, which of course includes any neo-nazi stuff. we only support anti-surveillance, privacy and self-sovereignty related projects (true for IVPN and for leadership team). we try to stay out of any mud-slinging, make any strong statements or plant any flags outside of these topics, it's not our lane."

I asked ivpn about that too, through email, they replies with the following:
Hi,
We don't support any politicians or extremist causes anywhere, in any part of the political or religious spectrum. This includes far-right, fascist or nazi politicians, parties and organisations. This is true on a personal capacity for our leadership as well.
We use our profits responsibly to look for opportunities to improve current and develop new services. We aim to stay neutral in political issues where possible, unless they directly connect to privacy and anti-surveillance.
This means we steer clear of supporting projects, content creators or making any strong statements or plant any flags outside of these topic.
You can review the projects we have supported over the years - right now only BTCPay is active: https://www.ivpn.net/en/supported-projects/
Hope this helps.

airvpn exists and I am currently waiting for an email to see what their opinion on this is. https://airvpn.org/aboutus/
In their about page they say they are hacktivists but nothing more that my adhd could keep up with.
