I work with a fintech company where we have had to completely block M247 IPs due to continuous attempted fraud. We generally allow access through VPNs otherwise. We are very receptive to customer feedback, but there have been no customer complaints despite having M247 blocked for months. There was an Ask HN from 2 years ago that was also suspicious of M247 [0] -- verging on paranoia -- which provides only weak evidence, but it does not encourage us to unblock M247 anytime soon.

As another data point a smallish community that I do moderation for (roughly 6k messages a day) has very large amounts of blatant trolling come from M247-hosted VPNs. Walls of slurs, regurgitated Russian propaganda about Ukraine, rape & death threats, etc. Most of these don't seem to be Mullvad VPN hosts. It's to the point that we've talked about blocking M247, but it doesn't seem feasible.
