https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/vpn-provider-accused-of-sharing-customer-traffic-with-online-advertisers/
On Monday, the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) -- a
US-based privacy group -- has filed a complaint with the US
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) accusing one of today's largest
VPN providers of deceptive trade practices. In a 14-page
complaint, the CDT accuses AnchorFree -- the company behind
the Hotspot Shield VPN -- of breaking promises it made to its
users by sharing their private web traffic with online
advertisers for the purpose of improving the ads shown to its
users.
