    That depends on if what the article says about them bothers you. The top comment is kinda misleading by just listing all the name of companies mentioned without putting why they were mentioned. Kape isn't on the list for lying about privacy, they are on the list for owning 4 VPN companies.

    There's a reason why most of their advertising is about protecting yourself from the privy eyes of the advertisers, and going around content locking, and not actual privacy.

    AFAIK, it’s privately held by the founders, who are largely driven by ideals and have no intention of selling it.

    That's good but don't trust it blindly, ever

    Every organization aand or company gets corrupted the second money becomes an issue somewhere or when they hire some manager who "will make things more efficient"

    While this video is austensibly about Incogni, you'll soon discover just how much it's about VPNs and who owns them.

    It markets itself to journalists, activists, and people in countries where being monitored by a government is a real risk. Its CIO had signed a deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ over his role in building surveillance infrastructure for a government targeting those same categories of people.

    At least this one I can understand, the guy probably knows pretty well what to protect from, and also may have changed the opinion on if you should attack journalists or protect them

    That would've been better disclosed at hiring time, not when someone found out, of course

    Still been using windscribe for the past few years. Still haven't had or seen any issues. It's pretty cheap and works great.
