Urban VPN is a particularly bad offender. It intercepts all your conversations with ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI bots (glad I don't use any), and sends them to the VPN vendor for resale. This is nuts.

I didn't prey upon anyone. I surely didn't start a company that pretended to offer privacy for nothing in return.

I do however find it hard to believe that anyone thinks a free product such as an AI chat bot is truly free.

I wasn't implying that you're the one preying on them. I'm talking about the scammers. You might find it hard to believe, but there are people with less tech literacy than you, and many of them wouldn't stop to question why a chatbot is free.
