      Needs a longer quote:

      Kape Technologies is a major player in the online privacy world, one of the three giants that collectively control the market. It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products. Kape brands can be seen sponsoring a wide array of public figures, such as Tucker Carlson, Angry Video Game Nerd, Drew Gooden, Lex Fridman, Cody Ko, Uncle Roger, and Ben Shapiro.

      So they’re basically evil.

      “We are living in an era of tyranny,” Shapiro says in one video endorsing the company, adding:

      And far-right shills are mindlessly promoting them.

      Evil with a capital evil.

              He was similarly just an online personality (YouTuber, funny commentary)just like Drew Gooden, until recently it was revealed he hooked up with a minor, knowing they were a minor (like 9 years ago or so)

              It’s funny because a couple months ago someone would have left a similar comment as you about him being included, but now he belongs with those other “evil” people.

      fffffuckkkk, I really liked cyberghost… it always felt very minimal and not in-your-face besides the occasional sale pop-up… time to drop it like it’s hot 😢

      What’s the closest safe alternative for my privacy?
