According to a new report, there are 13 China-owned VPN apps in the Apple App Store. None of them clearly disclose their links to China, and some use shell companies to hide their origin.

There are similar problems in Android's Google Play store.

Would you trust your internet traffic to a company that can be compelled to share its user data with the Chinese government?

Don't you think Apple and Google should be protecting their users better?

@gcluley@mastodon.green tbh anyone trusting their data to a free vpn app is asking for trouble. Chinese or otherwise.
