i’m not sure what this list is, why investigate vpn companies yet dont even look at nordvpn, pia, express, or others that are wildly popular yet still shady af with their real world origins?
i mean, those companies are so popular they’re almost normie household names. the couple i looked at from the papers list have a small fraction of downloads compared to the above.
i agree that we absolutely need a deeper dive and a lot more transparency on who owns these companies but i’m curious why they chose to avoid the elephants in the room.
