Israel and China Control VPN Services

People get talked into using VPN services, as a necessary tool for privacy. But a lot of them are controlled by Israel:

ExpressVPN is one of the biggest VPNs in the world. Millions of people use it to hide their online activity, stay safe, and protect their privacy. But there is a major problem. ExpressVPN is owned by an Israeli-linked company with deep ties to the Israeli military and the surveillance industry.

That means when you use ExpressVPN, your money could be helping fund the same system of occupation and violence that is starving and bombing Palestinians in Gaza.

Here is everything you need to know.

In 2021, ExpressVPN was bought for $936 million by Kape Technologies, a London-based company with strong Israeli roots.

Kape is not a small player in the market. It is owned by Israeli billionaire Teddy Sagi, one of the richest men in Israel. Kape has also bought CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, and ZenMate, making it one of the largest VPN empires in the world.

So when you think you are choosing between different VPNs, you may actually just be choosing between products controlled by the same Israeli company.

And many of the others are controlled by China.

If you get your internet from Concast, then it has the ability to spy on you. A VPN might be worse.
