Go ahead and use these services. I don’t care about you, what you do or what you think. You are deeply unserious if you are not paranoid about the surveillance and I really have nothing to discuss with you.
Fuck off Lemmy

My behavior is toxic because I am saying VPN services aren’t safe? OK whatever. I really don’t care what the fuck you do. Go ahead and pay money for these services 🤷♀️
You might have heard about Edward Snowden? Have you looked into anything that he leaked?
I am not worried about my torrenting traffic. I am worried about installing their software on my machine and giving them wide access including port mirroring.
Oh also people use VPNs to buy DIY hormones online, what happens when the inevitable US anti trans witch hunt happens?
Yes, a hosted seedbox paid with crypto and self managed keys is the way to go for torrenting
you don’t really need to scare quote they in this context. The NSA and similar organizations are real and operating at this scale right now.
Will they compromise their back door to go after a pirate? No. Will they collect data on you to profile you and your activities and use that in the future? Yes.
It is not if, it is when the digital police state is imposed will we know the real end state of this level of data collection. My warning about them is not just about the pirates, its about installing their software and letting them port mirror you and cache your dns calls for years to target you later.
Yeah there is no way Surfshark, NordVPN and other services are compromised and or straight up run by the NSA
Ever notice that Larry Ellison looks like Satan?
