A new report uncovers the troubling ties between top VPN services like ExpressVPN and the Israeli security state, raising alarms about how much control Israel’s Unit 8200 has over your online privacy.
Kape Technologies is a major player in the online privacy world, one of the three giants that collectively control the market. It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products.

It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products. Kape brands can be seen sponsoring a wide array of public figures, such as Tucker Carlson, Angry Video Game Nerd, Drew Gooden, Lex Fridman, Cody Ko, Uncle Roger, and Ben Shapiro.
So they’re basically evil.
“We are living in an era of tyranny,” Shapiro says in one video endorsing the company, adding:
And far-right shills are mindlessly promoting them.
He was similarly just an online personality (YouTuber, funny commentary)just like Drew Gooden, until recently it was revealed he hooked up with a minor, knowing they were a minor (like 9 years ago or so)
It’s funny because a couple months ago someone would have left a similar comment as you about him being included, but now he belongs with those other “evil” people.
oh phew, for a second I thought you were saying that about Gooden. I don’t watch him all the time but I’ve ran into some of his videos that I enjoyed. Don’t think I’ve ever ran into cody so thankfully that’s a bullet dodged.
I’ve learned this information a while ago and I’m still upset.
Seems like every time I stop watching a YouTuber for a while, I come back later and whoops! turns out they did something awful! 🙄
fffffuckkkk, I really liked cyberghost… it always felt very minimal and not in-your-face besides the occasional sale pop-up… time to drop it like it’s hot 😢
What’s the closest safe alternative for my privacy?

Glad mullvad’s not on that list.
IIRC, it’s still 100% privately held by the founders, who have no intention of selling up.
Needs a longer quote:
So they’re basically evil.
And far-right shills are mindlessly promoting them.
Evil with a capital evil.
I know you aren’t calling AVGN or Drew Gooden far-right shills but seeing their names in that list I’d really funny.
skimming the text I’m just like “yeah corporation, yeah yeah monopoly, yeah yeah angry video game nerd, yeah yeah WAIT WHAT”
The fact Cody Ko fits both 💀
Frankly im just not sure who that is

Oh that dude. My wife mentioned him.

It seems like they have VPN services and they don’t really care who uses them. Business doing business things

Mullvad or Proton are legit choices 🥷
