@sarahjamielewis@mastodon.social yeah, it's not an increase in privacy, it's a rerouting of trust with data. Still, I understand why the two are often conflated. People are desperate to control their data, and VPNs return SOME control over how it flows, but, crucially as you point out, not an increase in the level of privacy of that data inherently. It's about trust management. And yeah, a provider needs to display trustworthy values. Supporting authoritarianism isn't it!
