The article you cited, to support your claim that NordVPN is owned by a data harvesting company, says the opposite. It says that Tesornet only provided general business consulting to Nord, and that Nord users have nothing to worry about.
It seems there are a lot of back and forth allegations about this topic on the internet. I don't know the truth. That article doesn't really demonstrate anything, though, and your tone seems unhelpful.
As a general rule of thumb, adjectives are often a crutch for weak arguments.
>"Shifty panamanian company"
But they explicitly chose to locate in Panama because it is exempt from 5 Eyes government data spying. That seems the opposite of shifty.
> "Suspicious links to data harvesters"
Have you ever used Google or Facebook? Run a service on GCP? If you run a service on GCP I could say you have "suspicious links to data harvesters." This seems like a scare tactic, lacking substance.
- Traster 7y agoYeah, the article I cited concedes all the facts, but tries to play it off. I thought it would be funny to cite that website specifically because it's another website sponsored by NordVPN and is literally doing exactly what I claim - playing down the exact behaviour that the original article is playing up about their competitors. All I'm saying is that if you're predisposed to buy into the concerns this website is pushing about NordVPN's competitors, then you should absolutely have the exact same worries about NordVPN themselves.
