Tech Morality is Hard
A personal reflection on the difficulty of maintaining ethical standards in one's technology choices. The author describes their ongoing effort to avoid tech companies whose values conflict with their own, including dropping X/Twitter, Telegram, and Google services. The latest dilemma involves Mullvad VPN, after news emerged that one of its co-owners donated millions to a controversial Swedish political party with ties to racism. Mullvad's official response frames the donation as a private matter separate from the company's mission. The author plans to cancel their Mullvad subscription and is also questioning whether to drop Kagi search due to its partial use of Yandex data. The post raises broader questions about how far individuals can reasonably go in vetting the personal behavior of company owners versus company policy.
