The United Kingdom is escalating its censorship and mass surveillance.

@ret @mullvadnet Mullvad's own account is here.
And then? And then Mullvad was censored in the UK.
UK ramps up censorship & surveillance. Mullvad's critical TV ad "And Then?" was banned. Watch it here.
Mullvad VPN (mullvad.net)
there's nothing to complain to the ASA about - the ad was rejected by the TV companies' own (private, joint-owned) pre-vetting body, and mainly on grounds of quality and clarity.
@mewsleah thanks, I hadn't seen that. Disappointing.

@mullvadnet WOW. Guess they're using 1984 as a playbook and not a warning.

@mullvadnet Strong words for neither being Banned nor Censored

I like the ad. Consider uploading it to peertube so we can share it here? -

@jbjrkng
I have no experience with public instances unfortunately. -
@mullvadnet say what? Tell us more of this more please!
@mullvadnet ah, so reading more it wasn’t accepted by the TV advertisers. Which is not exactly surprising given they hate technology like VPNs. I know you wanted to make a stink but this just looks silly.
-
@mullvadnet do you have some more information about the "ban" here? I'd like to write to the ASA to complain about that decision if possible. I can't see a ruling entry for it on the ASA site.
@ret @mullvadnet it wasn’t banned. A private company didn’t clear it for broadcast. Mullvad didn’t try to make it compliant because it suits their commercial interests to claim it was banned. They get more free publicity this way and get to present themselves as the underdog. https://mullvad.net/en/and-then/uk
