      VPNs are great for avoiding the nastygrams that your ISP forwards to you from media companies. They get sent to some company that doesn’t care about US laws instead, and probably laughed at before being deleted

      And it’s for the criminals you’re trying to protect from. Worked IT for a while and a lot of attacks come from behind these popular VPN services now and they do nothing to help stop the attacks. Wouldn’t be surprise to find out these major services are funded by other governments to snoop on other countries at this point.
