Interesting how the comments heading this thread ignore the effect of VPNs on surveillance and data collection for the benefit of online advertising, i.e., the stuff that so-called "tech" companies rely on as a "business model"

Must be that these so-called "tech" companies have no problem figuring out who is the ad target behind each VPN IP address, fingerprinting them and tracking their online behaviour acrosss every computer they use

TIL VPNs actually have _no impact_ on the data collection and ad services "business model"
