    Ah yes, give your browsing history to the shady VPN company instead.

    Although that would help in this situation.

        A VPN either:

        1. Logs access/usage so it can be given to authorities. (And/or sold/stolen etc)

        2. doesn’t log usage data and willingly accepts that some disgusting stuff will be done using their service.

        1 might have to give browsing data if sued by a media company, 2 is ethnically bankrupt and shouldn’t be trusted at all.

        Doesn’t mean their not useful, just be aware of who you are giving your money to and the limitations of their protection.

      At most you will get some targeted ads (if you use “free” ones), compared to fines and jail, I say it’s a good trade-off.
