Bich Nguyen :verified:<p>"But private schools operate largely outside those rules because they haven’t historically received direct taxpayer dollars.

@molly0xfff and even if said Person/Company disliked the reporting, unless they're doing #Monero it would be trivial to search and find said details, espechally since they're not some smol retail investor nor darknet drug lord, so yeah...

VPNs sell themselves as tools of privacy, but Citizen Lab’s new report shows that some of the biggest names in the app stores are doing the opposite. Services like Turbo VPN, VPN Monster, and Snap VPN look independent, but are secretly tied to the same operators and, in some cases, linked to firms with national security concerns. 😳

The study found these VPNs not only share ownership but also share dangerous practices: weak encryption, outdated protocols, and even a single hard-coded password across apps. That means if one app is compromised, all of them are at risk. And worse, some apps collected user locations while promising not to.

The larger problem is opacity. If consumers can’t tell who runs their VPN or how secure it really is, they’re taking privacy risks blind. App stores like Google Play aren’t doing enough to vet providers or audit security claims. Transparency and accountability need to be the baseline, not the exception.

TL;DR
⚠️ Hidden VPN ownership
🔐 Weak encryption, unsafe protocols
🛑 Hard-coded shared passwords
📂 Millions of users exposed
