Well. I, for one, am glad I’ve never flown Spirit. Because you know no matter how much the data is “deidentified,” they’re going to figure out who’s who. Creepy.

“Seven ‘no log’ VPN providers accused of leaking – yup, you guessed it – 1.2TB of user logs onto the internet”

Remember, kids, “free” is never free.

May I suggest @ProtonMail, @Fastmail, or email on a server you own/pay for?

I’d rather have 80% of Google’s features along with 100% of Apple’s interest in protecting my privacy than 100% of Google’s features with 0% of that privacy protection.
