Mullvad UK customer here, I don’t think watching Americans order at a drive thru is a very compelling ad, had this campaign been more than jus “oh they banned us” you might have got somewhere. Many many UK ads have been banned over the years, the smart ones used the ban to their advantage, this isn’t it.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the UK were to soon outlaw Google street view.
UK authorities are in full Pravda mode, trying to control the narrative.
But the people aren't happy and the Reform party is nearly guaranteed to win the next election. Which many are going to describe as a "far-right populist party". But people have to wonder: how comes suddenly a "far-right populist party" is predicted to win all the votes? What did go wrong? At which point did the UK take a wrong turn?
For I don't think that people suddenly wake up and decide that they'll all be voting for a far-right nationalist party.
I think this entire movement of censorship in the UK but also in the EU overall (Spain being a particularly bad offender) is because the traditional political parties know that they are toast if they cannot control the narrative.

The blocking of VPNs is despicable. I love mullvad but hate that most sites block mullvad ips until i get lucky with one of the relays. Either way love what they do and hope they win. The forced demonetization of users is ridiculous. This will be looked back on just as the cryptography was when it was deemed a munition and banned from export.
Mullvad has show exactly what a country in complete decline looks like.
Or at least what a marketing team that has tried nothing and is already completely out of ideas looks like.
This isn’t subversive, it’s just lazy.
