I've never used any vpn or any other "privacy" solution because of what *seems* obvious to me but I guess isn't – those are the best possible targets to compromise.
My ISP services anyone who needs an internet connection. It is beholden to a government, but at least I know *which one* (it happens to be the majority owner too!). People work there because they needed a job and they're always hiring.
Proton (and nord, and fucking mullvad, and the rest) services people who are willing to pay for being hidden somewhat. It operates in however many countries they claim at the moment, apparently with no particular issues or prosecution, despite plenty of "probable cause". Curious that. People work there because they wanted to work there. For some reason which I'm sure is pure and noble.
Think I'll go with random tited locals who couldn't give two shits about what sites i visit cause it's not their job.
will have been preventable
