- mgiampapa 3y agoCertificate pinning and validation in apps for one. Onavo's VPN was really clear it collected market research data. It was as informed consent as a click-through could be.
- forgotusername6 3y agoInterception of encrypted communications is beyond the expectation of what most people would consider "collecting market research data"
- hiatus 3y agoI would expect the exact nature of the collection to be spelled out in some TOS that users probably clicked through.
- baby 3y agoFirst, all VPNs spy on you, just don't believe these claims because they are forced by law to do it. Second, don't use a VPN that clearly states that they're analyzing your traffic data.
- cpach 3y agoDon’t install additional root certificates. That’s what Facebook enticed users to do here. Without that root cert they wouldn’t have been able to see as much as they did.
