    Even Privacy Guides has its own set of controversy, where basically one group completely took over the community from its founder (who themselves wasn’t squeaky clean, either).

      Isn’t that the same controversy, just worded in favor of privacytools?

      I’m trying to judge based on what I’ve read from each party, and I’m still leaning towards the privacyguides account of what went down

      The recommendations are probably the biggest factor for me. See the VPN pages on each site

        Tbh I don’t really care enough either way. But I would lean a little more towards privacyguide’s account of things, while I still don’t fully trust their judgement either. I can’t remember why now but there was something they were very fanboy-like over which I disagreed with, and since then I haven’t been following their advice, let alone their drama.

        The article on privacyguides I linked above touches on some of this as well. I haven’t read through this one, but seems like the less verifiable one in a “x said y said” situation?
