    Oh nothing specific on that, that is what I’ve read in passing from everywhere though, you are supposed to do all this forensic work on every app because no one has done it for us apparently, and the app stores and Operating system owners decided to sell us all out for an extra buck so they won’t tell us. My phone won’t even tell me if an app costs money, they will tell me if they charge money through them, then I can download it and they will want a monthly payment outside of the app store.

    They all have top ratings that are openly gamed, comments are fake, last I checked they even disallowed seeing worst comments first making the fake paid for ai comments, actually indians, the only reviews you can see. But I digress.

    Nothing in particular but that is what everyone has said about vpn’s and every other app, you are supposed to research their data sharing and all that because no one does it for us somehow.

    If you want to know that the government buys data broker information, I have that one here, https://theintercept.com/2025/05/22/intel-agencies-buying-data-portal-privacy/
