MODERATORS
One of these things is not like the other...
>[PrivacyTools.io] appears to be a heavily SEO-optimized version of the site which recommends tools in exchange for financial compensation. Very recently, IVPN and Mullvad, two VPN providers near-universally recommended by the privacy community and notable for their stance against affiliate programs were removed from PrivacyTools. In their place? NordVPN, Surfshark, ExpressVPN, and hide.me; Giant VPN corporations with untrustworthy platforms and business practices, notorious for their aggressive marketing and affiliate programs.
I knew that PTio had some kind of controversy, but was not aware it was that bad.
There is a little more to the story. Same guy owns other scammy shopping sites, made some accusations, did some trolling.
