Everyone is pointing out that the article shoots itself in the foot by giving three very good reasons for VPNs and dismissing them. But I think there's a fourth reason that isn't mentioned: The US doesn't have reasonable privacy laws and I don't trust my VPN to not sell my browsing history to anybody with two pennies to rub together. Yeah, I can (and do) use DNS over HTTP, but the ISP still knows what IPs I am connecting too. It's trivial to find out what domains are hosted there.
