Yeah same. Is nord safe? The drama has got too confusing. Is windscribe safe? I don’t know anything anymore 
All of the links can be found in this article, but I think it will be soon removed by PIA. Just by seeing how quickly they remove Reddit comments that do not suit them, the article will most certainly be removed too
This is a good place to start for some of that. https://windscribe.com/privacy
As for the RAM idea, my best guess would be that given RAM is volatile all you’d need to completely wipe it forever is to cut the power. As such if there was a sudden raid, or you wanted to clear records for privacy or whatever, cutting the power (or just a reboot) would totally destroy any data currently being used. On a hard drive, that’s not quite as simple.
I don’t know that’s what he means, but it makes sense in my head.
I have an analogy here:
I’m walking down the street and 2 cars stop by. In one there is a person I know and that person is a serial killer, I know their name and address. In the other car there’s a person I know nothing about - I didn’t hear anything about them, I see them sometimes but I don’t know their name.
What I mean is, just by knowing who bought them doesn’t add trustworthiness on its own
Yeah but from what I gathered and after reading the ex-employee’s post - that said “fanbase” was mostly PIA’s employees. And they were ordered by their founder to push positive comments on Reddit. Just by checking their subreddit you can see how all the negative comments are downvoted
Who heads these up? Am I correct in assuming they need to in order to maintain, whats the word I’m looking for, public favor?
Yeah… does Linus REALLY need $100-150k/month from PIA alone “for his livelihood”?
Someone who’s on desktop, please screenshot this article and save all links

I’m under the impression that data can be recovered from RAM for a short time after loss of power. It’s probably a similar effect to how data can be recovered from hard disks and SSDs even after being written over, which is why you’re supposed to write over them several times.
Thank you.
Reply from Support makes sense now.
Reply from Developer made me imagine that there was a reply from the developer(s) of Private Internet Access (named in the opening post).
Yeah it’s still happening :/. I hope this news gets highlighted somewhere.
Do you mean who does these audits? Yes, it is vital users don’t trust but verify otherwise anyone could tell you anything and secretly be sending your nudes around the office.
Where does that stated monthly amount come from?
He’s making that much just from PIA every month? That’s absurd.
Here is the archived link of the article and here is a full page screenshot of the article.
Also, all the links of the archive, are also archived!
It’s already archived on archive.org.
no, it’s not the same. it’s gone.
Holy whiney fucking child. Could you be any more dramatic off a single sentence?
