On what grounds was it banned?
I am conflicted. A company has made me want to watch an ad and I enjoyed it.
Its weird. It wouldn’t be out of place as a pre-roll ad in a theater IMO. It gets the point across without narration in a horribly corporate voiceover OR obnoxious music.
I never would have expected to see a Dude Where’s My Car reference in 2026.
Yeah, that surprised me too.
I dunno, it tracks to me. Someone sees Dude Where’s My Car in theaters in 2000 at the age of 16. In 2026 they’re 42 and have been working at an ad company for 15 years.
Here’s some irony
Yep. Should have just linked to this one, which works:
https://media.mullvad.net/andthen/30s/Mullvad_AND_THEN_30s_US_ProRes422_Webmix_4K.mov
First mistake was using a Twitter (twimg) link.
I intentionally used Twitter/X video link instead of Mullvad website video link because Mullvad website is blocked in a good number of countries.
On the other hand, Twitter is one of the top 10 websites globally. Which means it’s guaranteed to work in most countries.
Yeah, but it’s still Twitter and backed by a fascist POS. Gross.
Also you often can’t view Twitter stuff like this without having an account and being logged in. (Thus the 403 Forbidden response)
At the very least they could use an xcancel link or something.
Fucks my phone up. Don’t see video, hear audio, have to kill browser.
I don’t think X works as well or as widely as you may think.
