First of all, your apology still made you sound like a dick. Secondly, enlighten me, what is the threat in reading an open spreadsheet on Google detailing pros and cons of different VPN vendors?



I don't know. Not a scooby.

What I know is that Google will store that data point indefinitely and will correlate it with a near-infinite number of other data points to generate conclusions about me. Whether those conclusions are right or wrong doesn't even matter.

They'll also make these data points and conclusions available to intelligence agencies around the world. Which might use it to damage me as part of the ongoing cyber war or if it's my own country's intelligence agency, then they might use it against me, in case I'm unpleasant for the reigning government.

I consider something safe when I know that it's safe, not when I don't know it to be unsafe.
