Urban VPN is a particularly bad offender. It intercepts all your conversations with ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI bots (glad I don't use any), and sends them to the VPN vendor for resale. This is nuts.

FOSS in most cases is very different than merely using a canned product someone else is "selling".

Precisely within machine learning, which is this topic, it's the difference between running models locally and just using chatgpt/etc. There is a VERY big difference and a VERY different price for entry.
