Knowing a company is watching me because it's openly known, is to me better than paying a company to not watch me and likely risk them simply selling out eventually like they all do.
It's funnier when you stupidly expected them to protect you, PAID them for it, and they don't.
It's like 23andme. Too fucking funny and everyone deserves it for their stupidity.
VPN companies have a low interest in selling user data. Their business model is pretty profitable already, and any leak of this would instantly kill the brand.
There's no reason for proton and mullvad to sell user data. They would be legally liable and they would break their profitable companies
fucking DNA stuff that was even written in the privacy policy iirc so meh, not the same
would love to get examples of this. I have a lot of counter examples
