The main two that parent poster would be talking about would be "Kape Technologies" and "Ziff Davis VPNs".
We also did an article in 2019

They do a lot of astro-turfing with "review websites" that aren't actually independent at all.
- Ylpertnodi 2y agoMullvad very rarely (if ever) get mentioned on vpn review sites. So I've used them for the last several years.
- datadrivenangel 2y agoAnd they're doing print advertising!
- kirb 2y agoAny idea why there hasn’t been much if any enforcement from the FTC and co about the sketchy VPN review blogs? Seems like especially Lina Khan’s FTC would be interested to find a way, because giving the impression of an independent review and then adding a little “actually we’re extremely biased” disclaimer somewhere doesn’t seem like it should be acceptable. They might be offshore, but they do plenty of business with US creators.
