They’re incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and no one can find out the names of the directors/owners/CEO/people in charge.
That’s not shady to you, especially for a company that sells privacy?
- jaywalk 5y agoSo what you're saying is, the people in charge are really good at privacy? And this is a problem? /s
- ta988 5y agoYes because giving your privacy to someone requires trust if you want it to stay privacy.
- bigth 5y agoSounds like they know how to keep private.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoAnd that’s the problem. How do you know they are not a state actor?
- marcus_holmes 5y agoI don't care tbh. The threat I'm protecting against isn't the state reading my emails, it's Spotify (for example, but there are many, many more) refusing to sign me up because my IP is in a different country to my bank account. Or every single bloody website on the internet ignoring my browser's preferred language settings and serving me content in the language that they think my IP address comes from.
- jcims 5y agoThey sell privacy but it would have been obvious from the very beginning that they’re going to be a magnet for illegal activity. I would probably do the same thing if I were them.
- jussij 5y agoThey should have used the "Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich" model like Google.
- mistrial9 5y agoyou compare aggressive teams with literally billions of dollars to an un-ending network activity that generates more costs than new nickels? have you ever been actually poor and yet working every day? stunningly insensitive, not funny
- varjag 5y agoAndrew Lee of Mt Gox fame is your guy. Also claims to be the crown prince of Korea.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoWhat if it is the NSA instead?
- varjag 5y agoHe's mentioned in the paste.
