  > They would use a method known as "SSL man-in-the-middle" to decrypt Snapchat's protected traffic to inform Meta's business decision-making. This particular story seems moot to the worry porn viewers would have of Facebook ratting them out to law enforcement.

  I think it's silly to think that any VPN isn't spying on you, for profit or for government compliance.

    It might help short term profit, but ultimately a VPN company relies on their customers trusting it, so spying is likely to hurt them - once a reputation gets trashed their customers are going to switch. Government compliance depends on which government has jurisdiction, so it makes a lot of sense to avoid authoritarian jurisdictions. e.g. NordVPN was originally Lithuanian, but is now based in Panama due to its privacy-friendly laws.
