- Mullvad's TV ad 'And Then?' was banned in the UK, criticizing censorship and mass surveillance.
- The UK is escalating authoritarian measures, including backdoors in encrypted services and client-side scanning proposals.
- Mullvad's campaign faced rejection by Clearcast for being 'unclear' and 'offensive,' highlighting concerns over free speech.
- Alternative underground advertising attempts, like QR codes, were also blocked by authorities.
- Mullvad resorted to minimalist overground ads questioning surveillance, which were initially unchallenged.
