Re: anonymous coward
I buy all three arguments, i.e. that having so many VPN providers in China is suspicious, that having them in China is not suspicious, because of demand/supply, and having them have crap terms of privacy is suspicious / inexcusable. However, to add to the stack, it might be that their privacy is crap, because privacy in China is crap in general, as much as other issues, such as general "customer service". Though you would think that if somebody offers you a a privacy tool, the key element of the service would be actual privacy. OK, suspicious.
But then... FREE, so perhaps the reason is just to "monetize" a relatively new and growing trend of "privacy" (hey, did you hear about PRIVACY stuff yet?! Click HERE to find out!), like there's been a new trend in "cargo" cloths, courtesy of Ryanair (fuck you Ryanair, fuckyouverymuch)
