TLDR/
Kape Technologies is a major player in the online privacy world, one of the three giants that collectively control the market. It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products.
Glad mullvad’s not on that list.
IIRC, it’s still 100% privately held by the founders, who have no intention of selling up.
Needs a longer quote:
Kape Technologies is a major player in the online privacy world, one of the three giants that collectively control the market. It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products. Kape brands can be seen sponsoring a wide array of public figures, such as Tucker Carlson, Angry Video Game Nerd, Drew Gooden, Lex Fridman, Cody Ko, Uncle Roger, and Ben Shapiro.
So they’re basically evil.
“We are living in an era of tyranny,” Shapiro says in one video endorsing the company, adding:
And far-right shills are mindlessly promoting them.
Evil with a capital evil.
I know you aren’t calling AVGN or Drew Gooden far-right shills but seeing their names in that list I’d really funny.
skimming the text I’m just like “yeah corporation, yeah yeah monopoly, yeah yeah angry video game nerd, yeah yeah WAIT WHAT”

Oh that dude. My wife mentioned him.
I’ve learned this information a while ago and I’m still upset.
Seems like every time I stop watching a YouTuber for a while, I come back later and whoops! turns out they did something awful! 🙄oh phew, for a second I thought you were saying that about Gooden. I don’t watch him all the time but I’ve ran into some of his videos that I enjoyed. Don’t think I’ve ever ran into cody so thankfully that’s a bullet dodged.
fffffuckkkk, I really liked cyberghost… it always felt very minimal and not in-your-face besides the occasional sale pop-up… time to drop it like it’s hot 😢
What’s the closest safe alternative for my privacy?
Mullvad or Proton are legit choices 🥷
Thank you!! 🙏
New tagline just dropped: Kape Technologies, the MindGeek of VPN
I left Private Internet Access (PIA) for Proton VPN after the Kape acquisition years ago. Still happy with my decision and I recommend Proton VPN to anybody in the market for personal VPN services.
+1 for Mulvad for what it’s worth.
Also, ProtonVPN has been infiltrated by the WEF.
Thanks to the way back machine we can see that they quietly erased Rosemary Leith’s bio of her affiliations with the WEF.
Now why would they do that?

Yeah, I wouldn’t trust anything these guys publish: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/mint-press-news/
I wouldn’t trust anything at MB/FC. I trust Alan Macleod’s work, though. If you want to actually understand the media, he wrote a book on it: Propaganda in the Information Age: Still Manufacturing Consent.
He edited that book, didn’t write it, but okay, I like him too. His work on propaganda about Venezuela is fantastic.
He edited that book, didn’t write it
It’s essentially a compilation of articles, and he wrote or co-wrote about half of them.
Oh, I see. Sorry.

But I love getting my news from far-left conspiracy theorists.
Yeah, I used to use PIA right up to the buyout. Actually had them email me asking why, tried to make assurances that nothing would change, nope I don’t trust Kape. Still don’t.
Holy propaganda batman!
The list of articles on that website is…extremely focused on one subject only.
Users of a vpn tunnel somehow always fail to think of the other end.
That’s why you should switch to Tor and I2P
Came here expecting to see Nord. Glad I didn’t.
Why glad? They are also pretty bad. You also should not use them. They had a databreach and kept it a secret.
This. Why the heck would anyone use Nord VPN?

Israel is not “The Jews”. The biggest money coming into Israel is coming from Christians. And loads of Jews are anti-zionists
