Wait the article you link just says that they will provide an email and receipt if requested, because no other info is kept. That seems fine to me? That info they could get from someone’s bank anyway, and using a fake email/unassociated email is always an option to make Nord a fine option.

If I’m mistaken here let me know, I do actually use it so would prefer to know if there’s something I’m missing here

Enthusiastically complying to law enforcement demands after initially claiming they wouldn’t give anything to them is a bad look. They went back on their word

That’s not trustworthy imo, who knows what else they might lie about

Are you sure? The VPNs I’m familiar with (i.e. the ones YouTubers promote) aren’t that great.

Weird. If anything, I’ve noticed far more non-Americans (US) in the news mega than the rest of the site. It’s been a joke in there that everyone is either from the baltics or South America with a smattering of UK people. At the same time, I remember at least two different polls that placed most Hexbearians by in general in the US and Canada by a large majority, which tracks pretty well with experience. Those polls were a couple years ago though.

There’s one South African and I think a few Indians from what I remember.

It definitely is, or at least Americans are vastly overrepresented. I would guess it to be ~70% Americans, no less than 50% though.

Hexbear only has 22 American users, but we never shut up
