> A VPN solves exactly nothing. Maybe, maybe not. US ISPs operate as virtual monopolies in many markets - even if an ISP was tracking and monetizing online activity most customers don't have any recourse. In contrast, the VPN market is extremely competitive; there are dozens, maybe hundreds of providers. Privacy is one of the differentiating factors between them. It would be extremely risky for a VPN provider to claim "no logs" but actually store logs - a single data breach, rogue employee, or whistleblower could end their business. I'm not claiming VPNs are a desirable solution. The desirable solution is that ISPs don't track or otherwise monetize their customers' online activity.
