Thanks for this link, I was actually chatting with someone today about good VPN providers and went to privacy tools. I was very confused why the top recommended VPN was Nord with an affiliate link.

Your link cleared up my confusion. It’s a shame that the project had to be forked.

> This decision was made because PrivacyTools’ founder and controller of the domain name had disappeared for an extended period of time and could not be contacted.

> After the organizational move was completed, the founder of PrivacyTools returned and began to spread misinformation about the Privacy Guides project. They continue to spread misinformation in addition to operating a paid link farm on the PrivacyTools domain. We are creating this page to clear up any misconceptions.

paid link farm?
