Reasonable when the alternative is literally getting mugged on the daily?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Considering that in this analogy you’d be asking the mugger to be your protector it is still unreasonable.

Particularly considering there are plenty of reputable and privacy respecting vpn providers

Oh, I'm with you. I don't think anyone using Google VPN was using it because it protected their privacy on the Internet generally. At least I hope not.

I would argue that you could negotiate with muggers much easier than with mobsters.
