    I skimmed through the article and I’m surprised the author at no point mentions the “drama” or the discussion the founder of privacytoolsio had with the mantainers of the website when they decided to move to privacyguides. To me it lost reputation after that.

      Yeah, they didn’t research properly. They just visited the website and ‘researched’ what happens when you click their links.

        I don’t think so, I believe they already know about it just didn’t write it in the article.

      I think the author is @werwolf@fosstodon.org, I feel like the article is targeted towards people who already know about the drama. (some of it’s mentioned in another page)
