Just make sure it is not a Facebook owned VPN which is actually used to spy on its users.

> They would use a method known as "SSL man-in-the-middle" to decrypt Snapchat's protected traffic to inform Meta's business decision-making.

This particular story seems moot to the worry porn viewers would have of Facebook ratting them out to law enforcement.

I think it's silly to think that any VPN isn't spying on you, for profit or for government compliance.

It might help short term profit, but ultimately a VPN company relies on their customers trusting it, so spying is likely to hurt them - once a reputation gets trashed their customers are going to switch.

Government compliance depends on which government has jurisdiction, so it makes a lot of sense to avoid authoritarian jurisdictions.

e.g. NordVPN was originally Lithuanian, but is now based in Panama due to its privacy-friendly laws.
