MODERATORS
They seem to know that the market for privacy is more than people who want just want their private data safe. There are also people that use these services for controversial and or illegal shit. So they use these chuds and reach those spaces.
It's the swiss business model. A lot of controversial and corrupted people, politicians hide their money in privacy oriented banks offshore. They make profits no matter where the money comes from.
A little bad press after the stuff is out doesn't really matter all that much if that drives more profits. The backlash might even get them more exposure.
They apologize and say they'll never do it again and everyone moves on.
