  Again, how many companies say one thing one quarter and another the next? Let alone a decade later.

  I am not saying to go uninstall your PIA stuff right now. I am saying to act with the understanding of what your risks are if they are compromised and how important you would be in the event that they are.

  Because companies are not our friends. We may have aligned interests but you have to always operate under the understanding of what capitalism IS and what their interests actually are. And while it is fun to aggressively define yourself by what you consume? To play on a fairly misogynistic “joke”: PIA isn’t gonna fuck you no matter how hard you stan for it.

    Wow that’s really something of a reply lol. No one is “stanning” for anything. Who is defining themself by what they consume?

      Homie. Your response to “don’t trust companies. Take precautions” is “Well ackshually trust this one” and, upon being reminded that other companies used to have good marketing and even practices, was to double down.

      Word it however you want. Either way: Don’t stan for corporations and protect yourself.

        If you don’t trust the VPN you use then why do you even use a VPN?

        Again - no one is doing any “stanning”. I never said don’t take precautions. One precaution is to thoroughly investigate the VPN company that you choose to use. The entire point of PIA is privacy. If they started lying not only would they get sued beyond belief, but they wouldn’t exist anymore.
