I don't follow here. PIA is a paid third party VPN. So you're advocating to use one just like this, but not PIA?

- arkades 7y agoYes. He advocates for third party VPNs, but PIA was acquired by a shady company, so not them anymore, because there’s now a reason to distrust them specifically. It seemed pretty clear to me.
- AndrewKemendo 7y agoPIA meets 100% of the criteria outlined in that post however with no discussion of how to determine or measure additional criteria like future possible bad behavior based on corporate ownership, which was the genesis of the whole thread. Ostensibly the "paid" portion of the criteria is a proxy for incentive to not do shady things like show ads or distribute malware.
- dvosar34 7y agoThe lengthy commentary was done more to draw attention to himself rather than convey any real threat by PIA's corporate changes.
