minus-square@xe3linkEnglish8•7 months agoYeah voluntarily using a VPN from Google (the largest tracking and Adtech company), is like voluntarily seeking out Mob “protection”
minus-squareJojolinkfedilinkEnglish3•7 months agoReasonable when the alternative is literally getting mugged on the daily?
minus-squareyoumaynotknowlinkfedilinkEnglish1•7 months agoI would argue that you could negotiate with muggers much easier than with mobsters.
minus-square@xe3linkEnglish1•7 months agoConsidering that in this analogy you’d be asking the mugger to be your protector it is still unreasonable. Particularly considering there are plenty of reputable and privacy respecting vpn providers
